[shubham1]

i am having a problem with apt-get upgrade when ever i try to upgrade any software it shows to upgrade all softwares i have to upgrade php
i tried
sudo apt-get upgrade php
or any other it gives to upgrade all and ubuntu software cneter dont show upgrades how to enable ubuntu software cneter to show upgrades and tell upgrades.

As far as I know there is no command in apt-get to upgrade a single package. I believe upgrade will upgrade all installed packages on your system. If you want to upgrade only the PHP package you will have to use synaptic or other package manager.

Hope this helps.

To update a single package reinstall it
