I Have NO Idea What This Means [Solved]

N: There are 2 additional versions. Please use the '-a' switch to see them.

Or what to do with it.

Re: I Have NO Idea What This Means [Solved]

This is an apt message during an update?

The "-a" is short for "--all-versions"
apt is informing you that there are additional versions of a package that can be updated. Do you have some 3rd party repos enabled?

Post the output of:

sudo apt update

and

sudo apt list -a --upgradeable

Sometimes you can proceed with the upgrade.

If this isn't a message at the end of "apt update", you will need to provide more information.
