I am using texlive on ubuntu and having issues with some packages used as they are too old. Downloading them from CTAN manually and installing fixes them but this is time consuming.

On windows we use Miktex and just update to all the latest packages.

Is there a way to update the packages in texlive to the latest from CTAN without going through the laborious process?
