Hello Daniel,

# man apt-get

(german translation) doesn't tell anything else. apt-get upgrade upgrades ALL installed packages.

Kind regards

Hello,

I've run into this a few times over the years and it can be a headache to resolve.

Passing a package name to "apt-get update" results in the response "E: The update command takes no arguments". However, passing a package name to "apt-get upgrade" results in the argument being ignored and all packages upgraded.

Is there some reason that this is the case? Is it a bug that has always existed and never fixed?

Dan
