Title: Is a dist-upgrade rather than an upgrade the right way to upgrade Siduction?
Post by: vonh on 2015/10/17, 11:42:41

Is a apt-get dist-upgrade rather than an apt-get upgrade the right way to upgrade Siduction?

What is the conceptual difference between the two?

Hello vonh,

yes, only "apt-get dist-upgrade" is able to introduce those changes where an outdated package gets replaced by a new package.

"apt-get upgrade" will never remove packages, but in transitions (https://release.debian.org/transitions/) this is intentional.

No, in transitions apt upgrade is way better.

Hello towo,

please let me rephrase: ..., but in transitions removing packages is intentional.

For the rest I agree with you, "apt upgrade" installs new packages where "apt-get upgrade" needs an extra option --with-new-pkgs.
