Getting Current Updates

After the installation of Dr.Web Mail Security Suite using any method described in the corresponding section, the package manager automatically connects to the Dr.Web package repository:

If installation was performed from a universal package (a .run file) and the system uses DEB packages (for example, Debian, Mint or Ubuntu), or the system does not have a package manager (FreeBSD), a separate version of the zypper package manager is used for operation with Dr.Web packages. It is automatically installed during Dr.Web Mail Security Suite installation.

To get and install updated Dr.Web packages with this manager, go to the /opt/drweb.com/bin directory (for GNU/Linux) or /usr/local/libexec/drweb.com/bin (for FreeBSD) and run the commands:

# ./zypper refresh
# ./zypper update

 

On FreeBSD 11.x for the amd64 architecture, a repository update error can occur while updating using the zypper manager. In this case, install the compat10x-amd64 support package and try again.

To install the package, use the command:

# pkg install compat10x-amd64

 

In all other cases use updating commands of the package manager of your OS, for example:

on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, use the yum command;

on Fedora, use the yum or dnf command;

on SUSE Linux, use the zypper command;

on Mageia or OpenMandriva Lx, use the urpmi command;

on ALT, Debian, Mint or Ubuntu, use the apt-get command.

You can also use alternative package managers developed for your operating system. If necessary, refer to the reference guide for your package manager.

If a new Dr.Web Mail Security Suite version is released, packages with its components are put into the section of the Dr.Web repository corresponding to the new product version. In this case, updating requires switching the package manager to the new Dr.Web repository section (refer to Upgrading to a New Product Version).
