Anything more to add to the 'maintain' function (a1), to
improve safety and dig in from the basis of a sound state?

Now it looks like this:

a1 () {
    sudo apt-get  -qq   check
    sudo apt-get  -qq   update
    sudo apt-get  -qq   autoremove
    sudo aptitude -q=99 autoclean
    apt -a list --upgradable
}

a2 () {
    a1
    sudo apt-get -qq upgrade
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
}

ENOSPC = error as no space (on the drive).

It only happened to me once as a youth, when I tried to insert
bills into my wallet ...
