Well, one might like the fact that dist-upgrade will make sure dependencies are handled correctly. Possibly a good thing when tracking and unstable branch since the dependencies sometimes change. from apt-get upgrade man page: under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed. vs. dist-upgrade: dist-upgrade,in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; > Ron Rademaker > > On Wed, 3 May 2000, Dan Christensen wrote: > > > Lately when I've been doing 'apt-get -s dist-upgrade' on my woody > > system I often get dozens of things like > > > > Inst kernel-package [shellutils on hurd] > > > > Can someone tell me what this means?
