I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.2 on a Beelink EQi12 Mini PC with an Intel processor. When I check for updates, I see that one package, 'ubuntu-drivers-common', is listed as upgradable, but I'm not sure how to actually apply this update. Can anyone help me figure out how to apply the correct update?

Just a quick note: When asking for help, make sure to detail your OS, hardware, and any errors you're facing. It'll make it easier for folks to assist you!
Actually, there's a possibility that the package is not updating because of an existing issue. It might be best to hold off on that update until the bug is resolved; otherwise, it could cause problems.
First off, it's important to understand that running 'apt list --upgradable' just shows you which packages can be updated, but it doesn't actually update them. To apply updates, you need to run 'sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade'. However, it looks like the package you mentioned might be on hold due to a bug, so it might be best to wait until that gets fixed before attempting to update it.
Thanks for the tip! I'll keep that in mind for next time.
