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)
