How can I upgrade my 2.6.0 mongo to 2.6.latest?

I am running ubuntu and have Mongo 2.6.0 installed.

Recently a new minor version of Mongo appeared (2.6.2), but for some reason I can not upgrade to it with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade (which I remember correctly upgraded minor versions when I was on 2.4.x version).

I assume that I can remove mongo and reinstall it, but this does not sound appealing.

Also I know that this question is not programming per se, but I think it will be useful for other people and also SO has a good mongo-community. (But if someone finds it really off-topic, please move it)

Here is the actual output:

When I do sudo apt-cache policy mongodb-org I see no information about 2.6.2 version.

mongodb-org:
  Installed: 2.6.0
  Candidate: 2.6.0
  Version table:
 *** 2.6.0 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The correct command to update MongoDB to the latest version is:

sudo apt-get install mongodb-org

You can check the details about the package and it's versions with:

sudo apt-cache policy mongodb-org

It will display something like this:

mongodb-org:
  Installed: 2.6.1
  Candidate: 2.6.2
  Version table:
     2.6.2 0
        500 http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart/ dist/10gen amd64 Packages
 *** 2.6.1 0
        500 http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart/ dist/10gen amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.6.0 0
        500 http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart/ dist/10gen amd64 Packages

The previous name of the package, from MongoDB repositories, was mongodb-10gen but it was renamed to mongodb-org.

If you try to install mongo package with:

sudo apt-get install mongodb

It will try to install the MongoDB from Ubuntu repositories (which is much older).

Be sure to always check the offical installation page for updates to their repo location etc.

Edit

It seems that your package was installed manually from a deb package or the MongoDB repo was removed from the apt sources list.

Either way, adding the MongoDB repo back to sources list and then doing: 

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mongodb-org

will install the newest version of the MongoDB (just for reference, link to the official installation docs).
