    Hi there,

    I need help to upgrade a certain package. I used following command:
    apt-get upgrade perl
    Once I do this it gives me a list of packages and goes back to the
    prompt. I see perl-base in the list.
    Can I upgrade single package ?? There is sendmail also in the list so if
    I upgrade all the packages I am afraid that sendmail will also get
    upgraded and so is the configuration files. I don't want to affect my
    mailing system.
    Any Help !!
