Proxmox apt-get upgrade - bad idea?

[Jolm]

Hi,

I'm using Proxmox 4.0 (at least that's the version I installed) without subscription and just did:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
# Some packages were held back, so I explicitly installed them 
apt-get install libpve-common-perl proxmox-ve

Output of pveversion -v and uname -a

Did I just upgrade to 4.1? Should I even execute `apt-get upgrade` after installing a major version?

Everything works fine and I did not restart the server yet but I'm unsure in which state my server and Proxmox is now.

Cheers
Chris

please use

#apt-get dist-upgrade

I did not want to upgrade. So after installing say Proxmox 4.0 I should never update/upgrade unless I want to go to the next Version (e.g. 4.1)?

Another question: Is the upgrade procedure you linked the same when I'm not using subscription? (Of course with the no-pve-subscription repo instead of pve-enterprise repo)
