That doesn't explain it. It explains how to install. But you say that you
want to upgrade it:
# apt-get update
# apt-get -u upgrade
<quote>
aptitude update (or apt-get update, see apt-get) to update apt's internal
database of available packages
aptitude safe-upgrade (or apt-get -u upgrade) to bring all currently installed
packages up to date

I would then probably do full-upgrade on aptitude, but that would do more, and
I do not have experience of apt-get dist-upgrade, which I believe is the
equivalent.
