i don't. anyone care to explain?
Maybe for a server - regularly update the package list and compile a list of packages needed to be upgraded. Then send the list to an admin and let them do the update, so that it isn't unattended.
makes sense, other package managers do the same. mixed it up with upgrade dist-upgrade which i still don't really get
upgradeupgrades only installed packages, and only when it can do so without adding/removing other packages.dist-upgradewill do the same, plus upgrade packages that have dependency changes. If package A v1 depends on package B, but package A v2 depends on package C instead, usingupgradewill keep your package A at v1, whiledist-upgradewill install the new dependency and upgrade package A to v2.great explanation, thank you :)
Can you also please elaborate on what full-upgrade does?
full-upgrade is dist-upgrade, it got renamed because of the possible ambiguity (one could think that it upgrade your distribution, like from debian 11 to 12)
