APT
In Debian the APT package manager is used. It is also used for various Debian-based distributions.
Usage
This section addresses various usages of the APT package manager.
Updating & Upgrading
This section addresses the updating of all packages managed by APT. To update the packages it is recommended to first update the package list with the following command.
apt update
Afterward there are two possible update types without changing the major release version.
The following command – upgrade – updates the packages only if no new or previously removed dependencies are
needed.
It is generally used for day-to-day updating without bigger jumps between versions.
apt upgrade
The other option is full-upgrade which was previously also known as dist-upgrade.
This command will also install, remove and replace dependencies if it is needed to update the
package.
It is mostly used for bigger updates like Kernel or release upgrade without changing the major
version.
apt full-upgrade
