My attempt to answer the original question without knowing which problem is attempted to solve: script simulated-upgrade.text sudo apt-get --simulate upgrade exit What those three step do * `script` creates a new shell in current terminal and writes all output to (created/overwrite) file `simulated-upgrade.text` * the dry run of the apt upgrade (if it asks for "Continue [y/n]?", say yes) * finish / close of the shell File `simulated-upgrade.text` can reviewed.
