In michael's defense, take this entry from the apt-get mapage:
dist-upgrade
dist-upgrade, in addition to performing the func
tion of upgrade, also intelligently handles chang
ing dependencies with new versions of packages;
apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system,
and it will attempt to upgrade the most important
packages at the expense of less important ones if
necessary. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains
a list of locations from which to retrieve desired
package files.
I agree we all need to know the tools we use, and I'll be the first
to admit that I have learning to do too, just like michael. However,
the manpage is where I start... and when I read this, it sure seemed
like a good idea to use dist-upgrade rather than upgrade. Maybe I
should have dug deeper to be sure, but...
