If you want to upgrade a single package using apt-get then you should use --only-upgrade
. So the below command only installs the specific package without installing any dependencies. Run the below command.
apt-get install --only-upgrade <package_name>
Example: To upgrade only a package called python3-gi
then use:
apt-get install --only-upgrade python3-gi
