Bug#756216: /usr/bin/apt and /usr/bin/apt-get have different upgrading behaviour
Package: apt
Version: 1.0.6
Severity: normal
Upgrading with apt and apt-get results in different hold-back
packages. For example I recently had those different outputs:
$ apt-get upgrade

Das folgende Paket wurde automatisch installiert und wird nicht mehr benötigt:
