3.2.3 Updating Packages
Instead of updating individual packages, you can also update all installed packages or
all packages from a certain repository. When mass updating packages, the following
aspects are generally considered:
• priorities of the repositories that provide the package
• architecture of the package (for example, x86_64, i686, i586)
