I noticed that I have lots of programs on my Debian 6.0.3 that need to be update. Eg. I go to the official page of the program eg. transmission bittorent client and I see the newest version is 2.4 and mine is 2.0. and the same case about other programs.
I ran both apt-get update , apt-get upgrade and nothing happens they are still old versions
Thanks for any help 😉

The Debian distribution does not focus on always having the absolutely newest versions in the repository, especially for the
stable
andtesting
suites. You can pull individual packages fromunstable
if you are willing to take the risk of untested software:This requires you to have
unstable
in yoursources.list
.
