First, some background. We currently have a Koha server running 17.05. This server has been updated in place since sometime in 2012 or 2013, going back at least to version 3.04. For a variety of reasons, it's time to start over with our Koha install. To that end, I had setup a new Ubuntu 18.04 server and installed Koha 18.11 via the packages. Going forward, I hope to not fall two years behind again, but during the re-implementation phase we did not want to do and updates. Today I ran "apt upgrade" on the Ubuntu server console, and to my surprise watched the new server update koha-common to 19.05. My prior experience is this does **not** normally update the koha-common packages. Instead, I would need to change the sources or do a dist-upgrade. What did I miss here? In the future, how can I update the OS without updating the Koha application? I want to be able to install linux, apache, etc security updates during an academic term, and be able to save the koha application updates for between terms, when have down-time for review and staff training.
