We initially were using DocumentDB and have switched to Mongo native. I am not havig much luck getting the shell to upgrade to 4.2, it still shows 3.6.3 after adding http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntuxenial/mongodb-org/4.2 multiverse as a repo and attempting a upgrade
Hi @MARVIN_FRANCOIS and welcome to the community forums.
Are you getting an error when you run your apt update command? When you run mongo --version is it showing 3.6.3 or 4.2.x?
after much gnashing of teeth, I think I got it to install, at least it shows as being version 4.2, but apt still shows that the install had an issue:
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libboost-iostreams1.65.1 libgoogle-perftools4 libpcrecpp0v5 libsnappy1v5 libstemmer0d libtcmalloc-minimal4 mongo-tools mongodb-server-core
Use ‘sudo apt autoremove’ to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
mongodb-org-mongos mongodb-org-server mongodb-org-tools
The following NEW packages will be installed:
mongodb-org-mongos mongodb-org-server mongodb-org-tools

I’m not sure how the MongoDB tools were originally installed, but did you try running the sudo apt autoremove command as suggested?
if mongo --version is reporting 4.2.7 then it seems that the upgrade happened in some form, but I would definitely look into the errors. I’m not sure why apt was having problems trying overwrite binaries. Maybe they’re owned by a different user?
