Bug#931637: Slight inaccuracy in explanation of "apt upgrade"



Package: release-notes
Severity: minor

In section 4.4.4, "Minimal system upgrade", the Release notes say that "apt upgrade" "has the effect of upgrading those packages which can be upgraded without requiring any other packages to be removed or installed".

However, when I ran this command (and consistently with my past experience of "apt upgrade"), it didn't just upgrade packages, but also installed new ones. I think this is a change from "apt-get upgrade", which behaved as described here.

To correct this, I think the words "or installed" should be omitted from the end of the sentence.
