Since I started to use DirectAdmin a few months back I regularly update it, but never did a apt-get update/upgrade. Today I checked it and there was a large number of packages which require attention.

Code: 
  apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils bind9 bind9-host bind9utils dnsutils libbind9-90
  libdns-export100 libdns100 libirs-export91 libisc-export95 libisc95 libisccc90 libisccfg-export90 libisccfg90 liblwres90
  libwbclient0 linux-libc-dev login munin munin-common munin-doc munin-node munin-plugins-core munin-plugins-extra passwd python-samba
  samba samba-common samba-common-bin samba-dsdb-modules samba-libs tzdata vim vim-common vim-runtime

I wonder whether I can just perform an apt-get upgrade anytime or is there anything I need to take care of?
 
Hello,

Directadmin does not limit you on number or frequency of running apt-get in order to update your system. Actually you can do it per your needs. What you should care of are packages maintained by custombuild (directadmin), you are not advised to update/upgrade them with apt-get. Apache should be updated with Custombuild script.
 
You can update the new version of the packages that are already installed on the system. Just check whether your system will require installation of additional libraries??

Thanks Alex. Is there a list of packages which apt-get should exclude available?
 
Well,

On CentOS it excludes the following:

Code: 
exclude=apache* httpd* mod_* mysql* MySQL* da_* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* bind-chroot*

Debian might have different names, but still it's good to exclude the packages, and/or de-install them before upgrading.
 
Sorry for breaking into this post.

Do i understand correctly that with a default install of Debian where following the manual directadmin is installed you cannot run apt-get upgrade directly except if you have made this exclusions?
Or are these exclusions been made by the directadmin install?

Thanks,

Aron
