apt-get (dist-?)upgrade

[Gurvan Huiban <gugu-nospam@netcourrier.com>]

Bonjour,

Je tourne en Debian testing, et je me pose la question suivante, suite a un 
man apt-get malencontreux.

Dans le cadre d'un upgrade regulier des paquets installes, vaut-il mieux 
effectuer des "upgrade" ou des "dist-upgrade"? Si on en croit le man, 
"dist-upgrade", c'est comme "upgrade"  mais en plus intelligent.

Dans ces cas-la, il vaut mieux utiliser dist-upgrade? Mais alors a quoi sert 
upgrade tout simple?


upgrade
upgrade  is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently 
installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list. 

dist-upgrade
dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also 
intelligently handles changing dependencies with  new versions of packages; 
apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to 
upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if 
necessary.


Quelle "politique" d'upgrade adopter?
