You did not read carefully what I suggested, I said first run
sudo apt-get update
which you did, and there seem to be no errors.  apt-get update just
updates the list of packages that need to be upgraded.  I then said
that if that was ok to do
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
which will actually do the upgrade.  Since you have not done that then
the upgrade has not happened.

By the way you can copy out of the terminal using Ctrl+Shift+C to
avoid messing about with pipes and Tee.  You may prefer it that way of
course, in which case that is fine.


Can you really not insert post in hotmail?  Have you tried switching
to plain text mode, I assume you can do that.
