Compare it with "Safe upgrade" and "Full Upgrade" in Synaptic (or used to be; don't remember since I haven't used it recently). Safe Upgrade = apt-get upgrade : if upgrading any package causes removal of another package, such package is held back. Full Upgrade = apt-get dist-upgrade : all packages are upgraded, even if upgrading any package caused another package to be removed. In both cases, the system is on the same release (10.04). It does not upgrade to 10.10. I daily do 'apt-get dist-upgrade' on my lucid machine, and I can confirm it is still lucid and not maverick. :) Just writing out of my own experience. Trying to dig out some material on it (referred to it ages ago). -- Regards, Nitesh Mistry | www.mistrynitesh.com PGP key id: A6FEF696 | 'geekosopher' on freenode irc
