And it's because it should not work in the first place in the situation like this. "apt-get upgrade" should and will refuse to install any new packages (or uninstall existing ones). What should solve your problem is: apt update; apt upgrade And it's because "apt" (not to be confused with "apt-get") is allowed to install new packages during the update. What also could solve your problem (but it's inherently dangerous, as it will allow to remove installed packages as well) is: apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade In short, when in doubt, use "apt", not "apt-get".
