MOTD
One Linux manual page every weekday: ten things from the page, five questions, and one command to run. About ten minutes, from the documentation already installed on your own machine.
Ten things
- 10 full-upgrade (apt-get(8)) full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove currently installed packages if this is needed to upgrade the system as a whole. [man]
- 02 It is intended as an end user interface and enables some options better suited for interactive usage by default compared to more specialized APT tools like apt-get(8) and apt-cache(8). [man]
- 03 Much like apt itself, its manpage is intended as an end user interface and as such only mentions the most used commands and options partly to not duplicate information in multiple places and partly to avoid overwhelming readers with a cornucopia of options and details. [man]
- 06 upgrade (apt-get(8)) upgrade is used to install available upgrades of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources configured via sources.list(5). [man]
- Every statement is quoted from that page or from the GNU info documentation beside it, and every edition names the command that shows you the source. archive · the operator · about · podcast · Feline Union
- 05 Other commands operate on this data to e.g. perform package upgrades or search in and display details about all packages available for installation. [man]
- 07 New packages will be installed if required to satisfy dependencies, but existing packages will never be removed. [man]
- One Linux manual page every weekday: ten things from the page, five questions, and one command to run. About ten minutes, from the documentation already installed on your own machine.
- 08 If an upgrade for a package requires the removal of an installed package the upgrade for this package isn't performed. [man]
- WHAT YOU SHOULD SEE A count of installed packages, the installed and candidate versions of bash, its metadata, and the package that owns the bash binary.
