"apt-get upgrade" will not install any new packages, nor will it remove
any packages, in order to satisfy the dependencies. The .deb files are
left in place.
"apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs" will install new packages if needed,
but will not remove any packages, in order to satisfy dependencies.
The .deb files are left in place.
"apt upgrade" will install new packages if needed, but will not remove
any packages, in order to satisfy dependencies. Any .deb files downloaded
during this operation will be removed after successful completion.
"apt-get dist-upgrade" will install new packages or remove old packages
if needed to satisfy dependencies. The .deb files are left in place.
"apt full-upgrade" will install new packages or remove old packages if
needed to satisfy dependencies. Any .deb files downloaded during this
operation will be removed after successful completion.
"apt dist-upgrade" is a synonym for "apt full-upgrade".
Here's a table:
Command NewPkgs RmvPkgs KeepDebs
------------------------------- ------- ------- --------
apt-get upgrade ✓
apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs ✓ ✓
apt upgrade ✓
apt-get dist-upgrade ✓ ✓ ✓
apt full-upgrade ✓ ✓
"apt upgrade" will "do the kernel" as you put it because the new kernel
is a new *package* (it has a different name, because multiple kernels
must be able to coexist). "apt-get upgrade" will not, because it doesn't
bring in new packages.
