Package: apt Version: 1.3~rc2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
aptitude upgrade packagename will only upgrade the package and its dependencies but not everything. Same for apt-get. However apt upgrade packagename is the same as apt upgrade. If you don't want to replicate the behaviour of the other tools, at least give an error instead of silently ignoring parameters. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.0d (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii debian-archive-keyring 2014.3 ii gpgv 2.1.14-5 ii init-system-helpers 1.42 ii libapt-pkg5.0 1.3~rc2 ii libc6 2.23-4 ii libgcc1 1:6.1.1-12 ii libstdc++6 6.1.1-12 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii gnupg 2.1.14-5 ii gnupg2 2.1.14-5 Versions of packages apt suggests: pn apt-doc <none> ii aptitude 0.8.3-1 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.10 pn powermgmt-base <none> pn python-apt <none> -- no debconf information
