Just simply write sudo apt-get install firefox apt will recognize it as a request for update as firefox is already installed. It will also update the dependecies. Just tested it a few minutes ago. Works for every package, which is listed after the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade shareimprove this answer answered Jan 4 at 19:34 gajdipajti 1,781317

You just re-install the package, For example: if you have installed chromium-browser, when you type "sudo apt-get install chromium-browser" again, system will check if there is a new one in the repository and update it.

Use dpkg directly, not apt-get or aptitude:

sudo dpkg -r --force-depends "package"
