How does one get a count of how many packages on my system need to be upgraded?
This works: $ apt-get update >& /dev/null && apt-get -s upgrade | grep -o '^[0-9].*upgraded,' Was just wondering if there is a more simple way. The -u option looks like what I want, but didn't seem to do anything different from running apt-get without it.
