Zorin 15.1 Core Partial Update to 15.2

Yesterday I used Software updater to check for updates. I was offered a OS Update which I accepted (as normal).
This turned out to be a Distribution Update (I think those were the words, but dont quote me), but turned into a Partial Update.
A number of generic reasons were displayed that could cause a Partial Update, but nothing specific.
Anyhow, I let it complete, followed by reboot. Checked version after and now says 15.2.
All seems to be running OK, but should I be worried about it being a Partial Update?

PS. Checked if any more updates today, but was nothing major.

I have had the same experience yesterday and took it down to the fact that I had removed any kernels present that were causing it to freeze/slow down - currently running kernel 4.18 on an old Dell Latitude E6500. No issues. ;) :D

You might run
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade

and check what packages are being offered. You may also hit "y" on that terminal to see if it upgrades successfully.
If anything fails, you can then check which packages did. You could then try installing them with manually, if needed.

Thanks, did that. Not much extra offered, but hit "Y" to complete anyhow. Was also informed of one no longer used item, so did the prescribed autoremove to dispose of that whilst I was in terminal.
