Briefly describe your issue below:
I was wondering what in “parrot-upgrade” determines which version of a package is installed? The reason I ask is because for the second week in a row, “codium” (not a parrot product) has updates posted, but “parrot-upgrade” does not flag them for update. (Note, this may reside in the underlying mechanism of “apt”, in all probability.) Since “codium” also nags you when it is out-of-date, this can be a bit irritating.
See below for additional information.
(Please Note, could not find a “General Questions” category, otherwise I would post have posted this there.)
Thank you for your time.
