aptitude safe-upgrade

[Matthias Böttcher]

Hallo!

Ich bin gerade nach einem "sudo aptitude upgrade" über folgende
Meldung gestolpert:

$ aptitude upgrade
W: The "upgrade" command is deprecated; use "safe-upgrade" instead.

Was zum Teufel ist "safe-upgrade"?

Die man-Page kennt "safe-upgrade" nicht, aber in
/usr/share/doc/aptitude/README steht die Lösung:

  aptitude safe-upgrade

      This command will upgrade as many packages as it can upgrade without
      removing existing packages or installing new ones.

      It is sometimes necessary to remove or install one package in order to
      upgrade another; this command is not able to upgrade packages in such
      situations. Use the full-upgrade to upgrade those packages as well.


  aptitude full-upgrade

      Like safe-upgrade, this command will attempt to upgrade packages, but it
      is more aggressive about solving dependency problems: it will install and
      remove packages until all dependencies are satisfied. Because of the
      nature of this command, it is possible that it will do undesirable things,
      and so you should be careful when using it.

       [Note]  Note

               For historical reasons, this command was originally named dist-
               upgrade, and that name is still recognized by aptitude.


Also:
"aptitude upgrade"  heißt jetzt "aptitude safe-upgrade"
und "aptitude dist-upgrade"  heißt jetzt "aptitude full-upgrade"

und "Raider" heißt jetzt "Twix" ;-)
