My attempt to answer the original question
without knowing which problem is attempted to solve:
script simulated-upgrade.text
sudo apt-get --simulate upgrade
exit
What those three step do
* `script` creates a new shell in current terminal
and writes all output
to (created/overwrite) file `simulated-upgrade.text`
* the dry run of the apt upgrade
(if it asks for "Continue [y/n]?", say yes)
* finish / close of the shell
File `simulated-upgrade.text` can reviewed.
