Hi,

In the apt-get repositories of ES, if you had a pre-GA version installed and you want to upgrade,  
adding the 6.x GA repository and running `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade` will not work because `6.0.0` will be listed **below** 6.0.0-rc2 for example.

```auto
$ apt-cache policy elasticsearch
elasticsearch:
  Installed: 6.0.0-rc2
  Candidate: 6.0.0-rc2
  Version table:
 *** 6.0.0-rc2 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     6.0.0 500
        500 https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/6.x/apt stable/main amd64 Packages
     1.7.3+dfsg-3 500
        500 http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages

```
