“Update Manager” for LL3.8

[Artim]

I loved that old updater from Ralphy! I'm surprised it still works, even on LL 3.8.


Ralphy adapted Linux Mint's updater for Linux Lite. But Ralphy isn't maintaining his apps anymore. It was nice for newbies who haven't yet learned to selectively update. Selectively updating is still possible using Synaptic Package Manager instead of the standard Lite Update procedure.


My solution, when an update breaks something, is to discover, if possible, which updated package caused the problem and use the "Force Version" feature in Synaptic to keep the good version and exclude newer versions of that package when updating the OS.
