Yes - but certainly in aptitude (I am more familiar with aptitude than with
apt) it is now recommended to use either aptitude safe-upgrade or aptitude
full-upgrade depending on which you want. If I have understood yum correctly
(and, indeed, I may not have!) aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade more
closely resembles yum update than aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade.
I think that there is a different mind-set needed for yum and apt. Once one's
brain is tuned to one it requires a certain amount of mental agility to
switch!
In my few attempts so far to use yum, my mental agility has been lacking and I
have returned to the familiar with a sigh of relief!
