Georg,

As Sunish noted in his post, he is using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which is an RPM based Linux distribution, as opposed to Debian and it's derivatives like Ubuntu, which use different pre-compiled binaries (.Deb).

Your ability to upgrade on Debian is not relevant to his issue, as a completely different infrastructure (RPM based repositories) is required for RHEL if one wishes to install pre-compiled binaries, as opposed to building from source, which is also an option if one wishes.

Regards,

Marc
