You don't need to do both an upgrade and dist-upgrade. Doing the upgrade installs new versions of existing packages while dist-upgrade also will replace packages when a package has been replaced by a different one (e.g. grub2 replaces grub or systemd replaces sysvinit). When dealing with the stable branch the two commands should be identical.Updated Debian Jessie 8.0 using :- apt-get -u update apt-get -u upgrade apt-get -u dist-upgrade but now find that the PC won't reboot. Am getting messages such as 'couldn't start the load kernel modules' and 'couldn't start /boot/efi' Can anyone help, please ?
It's unlikely that the successful completion of those commands caused the problems you are experiencing. What else did you you change?
