It depends on what the packages are. If they're part of the base install 
of the older version of Laravel, then you shouldn't have any problem 
upgrading. I would advise upgrading one version number at a time, rather 
than upgrade many versions at once.

Are you following their own upgrade guide (specific to your version)?, 
e.g.: https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/upgrade
