Ubuntu - apt - Upgrade installed packages
Same as apt-get upgrade –with-new-pkgs.*
sudo apt upgrade
NOTE: This will upgrade all installed packages.
To upgrade only a specific program
sudo apt upgrade <package_name>
Another way to perform a complete upgrade
The same as apt-get dist-upgrade.
sudo apt full-upgrade
WARNING: It is recommended to avoid using this command.
- The command apt upgrade is very obedient.
- It never tries to remove any packages or tries to install a new package on its own.
- The command apt full-upgrade, on the other hand, is proactive.
- It looks for dependencies with the newer version of the package being installed and it tries to install new packages or remove existing ones on its own.
- It has a “smart” conflict resolution system. It will attempt to upgrade the most important packages, at the expense of the less important ones.
- This may lead to the removal of some packages, which you might not want. This is the main reason why dist-upgrade should be avoided on production machines.
