Is apt dist-upgrade not necessary anymore












1















Before Ubuntu 18.04 was available, I was using Ubuntu 16.04. And I was using sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to do the update and upgrade stuff.
With Ubuntu 18.04, I changed to to use apt instead of apt-get. The weird for me was that sudo apt dist-upgrade has no effect at all: I do the update and upgrade using sudo apt update and sudo apt upgade, but when I run sudo apt dist-upgrade, nothing happens contrary to when I was using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

When I used sudo apt-get dist-upgrade some packages were removed and others were installed. However when I run sudo apt dist-upgrade, nothing happened at all.. All what I get is: 



sudo apt dist-upgrade 

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Calculating upgrade... Done

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.


And this happens every time since I started using apt instead of apt-get.

Is it something related to apt (i.e sudo apt upgrade replaces both upgrade and dist-upgrade) or what is the issue exactly?

dist-upgrade has been superseded in Ubuntu by full-upgrade.



Older users of Ubuntu remember when dist-upgrade was indeed used regularly to install kernel packages. Kernel package names change with the version, making them ineligible for normal upgrade. full-upgrade was added to safely meet this need of the Ubuntu package flow.



The original purpose of dist-upgrade is to migrate between releases of Debian (roughly equivalent to Ubuntu's do-release-upgrade.) So there is a bit less protection from unanticipated consequences. Read the proposed changes carefully before agreeing.



Using dist-upgrade instead of full-upgrade probably won't hurt a healthy system. Millions of users over a decade have worked a lot of the bugs out of the apt workflow. However, dist-upgrade may have unexpected results on a system with held broken packages or other unresolved problems.

apt-get upgrade vs apt upgrade vs apt full-upgrade



apt-get upgrade only upgrades the apps, tools, and utilities. It does not install new Linux kernel of the OS.



apt upgrade upgrades the apps, tools, and utilities and installs new Linux kernel of the OS. However, it never removes old packages.



apt full-upgrade upgrades the apps, tools, and utilities and installs new Linux kernel of the OS. It also removes old packages if needed for the upgrade.



It looks to me apt full-upgrade does the same thing as apt-get dist-upgrade. That is to say the full-upgrade will check for and install a new kernel if available and removes old packages if the removal is necessary for the upgrade.



Note, kernels are the fundamental part of the OS. For this reason the the old version of the kernel is never replaced by the new version when you run apt full-upgrade. The new version of kernel is installed and the existing version is kept as is. The configuration in the grub is changed to boot from the new version by default during the upgrade process. If the new kernel does not work for some reason one can boot from the old kernel from the advanced grub menu.



The reason we have the two options is because some people may be running special apps that only work with a specific kernel and they may not want to upgrade to a new kernel even when they are available.



Why change the name from dist-upgrade to full-upgrade?




  • If you use apt-get then you need to use dist-upgrade

  • If you use apt then you need to use full-upgrade


I think the dist-upgrade was a bit confusing. For example, this does not upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04. It only upgrade the kernel, and other stuff, within Ubuntu 16.04.



I think full-upgrade is more intuitive than dist-upgrade.



See What is "dist-upgrade" and why does it upgrade more than "upgrade"? for more details.



Full disclosure: I am just an user of Ubuntu I didn't make the decision to change it. These are my personal views.



Hope this helps

  • +1, but to be pedant, from the manpage of apt itself: upgrade never removes existing packages, while full-upgrade will remove currently installed packages if this is needed to upgrade the system as a whole. Also, apt dist-upgrade looks like to work ok on my systems (probably for backwards compatibility).

Chemia organometallica

Chemia Organometallica , disciplina quae partes chemiae organicae inorganicaeque complectitur; moleculas noscit quae vincula covalentes inter carbonium et metallum aut semimetallum continent. Index 1 Exempla 2 Proprietas chemicarum organometallicarum 3 Ramae chemiae organometallicae 4 Fons Exempla | Vitaminum B12 in corpore humano est chemica organometallica, sed non omnes moleculae metallum habentes sunt organometallicae, solum eae in quo vinculum inter carbonium et metallum est covalentum. Ergo, quamquam natriumacetatum (H 3 C-COONa, sal natrii acoris aceti) partem metallicum et partem organicam CH 3 habet, molecula ipsa non est metallorganica, quia vinculum natrii est ionicum et non est inter natrium et carbonium. Similiter chlorophyll et haemoglobinum non sunt chemicae metallorganicae. Etiam hodie, chemica Grignardi qui magnesium continent sunt potior pro synthesis moleculae organicae. Pro harum chemicarum inventa Victori Grignard Donatium No...

Cannabis , [1] apud posteriores etiam Cannabum , [2] [3] est genus plantarum florentium familiae Cannabacearum, cuius omnes species descriptae, nempe Cannabis sativa [4] L., [5] Cannabis indica Lam., Cannabis ruderalis Janisch., [6] sunt in Asia Media endemicae. Multum differt inter doctos utrum genus in tres species dividi debeat, an variationes unius speciei putari. [7] Modis in permultis et saepius dissimilibus homines per aeva cannabim usurpabant, papyrum, funes, vestimenta, et vela ex cannabis fibris facientes, et folia, flores, semina cibo coquentes. Etiam cannabim medicinae medicamentoque consumebant, quia insunt multa chemica, cannabinoides vocata, quorum nonnulla sicu...

YA sci-fi/fantasy/horror book about a kid that has to overcome a lot of trials

8 0 I'd like to make a disclaimer that I remember very little about this book or when I read it (I think I read it sometime in the late 90's or early 2000's), so it'll probably be difficult to figure out what it is, but it's bothered me on occasion for a few years. I want to say that it's from the 90's, but it could be later or much earlier than that. I really only remember bits and pieces of it, primarily the beginning. It starts out in the woods, where someone is running away from/stumbles upon a cult ritual. The cult members are wearing red cloaks, and I think that they catch the person and kill them. The main part of the book starts with a kid moving in to his uncle's(?) house. Aside from this I really can't remember much, but I think at one point the kid navigates a maze...
