Bug#669409: apt-get(8) manpage: wrong description of --only-upgrade
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3+squeeze1
Severity: minor
Please compare those to description of apt-get(8)'s manpage:
--no-upgrade
Do not upgrade packages; When used in conjunction with
install, no-upgrade will prevent packages on the command
line from being upgraded if they are already installed.
Configuration Item: APT::Get::Upgrade.
--only-upgrade
Do not install new packages; When used in conjunction
with install, only-upgrade will prevent packages on the
command line from being upgraded if they are not already
installed. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Only-Upgrade.
I guess the first part of --only-upgrade's description is correct but
everything after the semicolon is repeated from --no-upgrade. I
_guess_ the correct description would be:
Do not install new packages; When used in conjunction
with install, --only-upgrade will prevent new packages
from being installed. Already installed packages will
be upgraded. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Only-Upgrade.
