Using Debian, I do (at the CLI): # aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade -y Leave out the -y if you want to be consulted before the upgrade goes ahead. I know that this can be done in Ubuntu, but I believe that Ubuntu also has a GUI package manager, and I believe that use of this is to be preferred; and as for the CLI, I do not know whether Ubuntu uses safe-upgrade. If it does not, you would need to use aptitude upgrade, without the safe-. You may also prefer to use apt-get in place of aptitude.
