APT module to target only OS & not Application repo

Kiran_Kumar · February 21, 2021, 9:40pm

Hello
Is there any way to target only primary OS related packages ?

apt:

name: “*”

state: latest

At times 3rd Party packages are added to /etc/apt/sources.list

So what is best way to just patch the OS & not the app…

Any suggestions to handle this on scale …

Thanks

I am thinking like below

cat /etc/apt/sources.list |grep -v “#”

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse

Hello,

If you are trying to avoid certain known packages to be upgraded, you could try to pin them:
