upgrade build-essential
I would like to know what is the best way to upgrade build-essential? the package for ascii seems a little bit out-dated, e.g. the GCC is 6.3.0 (about 3 years old).

Re: upgrade build-essential
Why do you want to upgrade? Something not working? This is what I have on ASCII too, and it does the job: building kernel modules for VBox. build-essential is a package of tools with a lot of dependencies, so you can't simply upgrade one component.
You may consider upgrading to Beowulf if you want more recent stuff.
