Please keep in mind that apt and apt-get are two different commands. That said, their sets of upgrade subcommands overlap a bit. Checking the manual pages apt : upgrade full-upgrade apt-get: upgrade dist-upgrade dselect-upgrade Upon first glance manual pages make it look as if full-upgrade and dist-upgrade are the same but I am not sure the details of package dependency conflict resolution it identical for both. On top of that, if you've been tinkering with configuratin options results may differ yet again. > When I look up the man page for apt - - - hmmmmmmmm - - - its now apt-rpm > and last updates are from 2008 (just a wee while ago).

If you didn't install man-db and/or are looking for on-line manual pages, try https://manpages.debian.org/apt Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 FSF Associate Member since 2004-01-27 GnuPG key: F84A2DD9/B3C0 2F47 EA19 64F4 9F13 F43E B8A4 A88A F84A 2DD9 Support Free Software https://my.fsf.org/donate Join the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/join _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
