Package: apt
Version: 0.5.0
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

as a standalone feature this doesn't make too much sense, but merged with
#80123 (Pre-Download hooks), it does: I'd like to have a cronjob that does

apt-get -d update upgrade

each night (when phone is cheap) and I'd like apt to use
mclient/masqserver to dial out for this. Of course, I don't want that the
modem hangs up between getting the package lists and the actual packages,
so this will have to be done in one invocation of apt, with apt noticing
that the upgrade will potentially still need the modem.

   Simon

Hi,  thanks for your bug report. Sorry it took 14 years to
answer, but this is possible since some time, for example, do

 apt-get upgrade <pkg>

and it will install <pkg> in addition to upgrading.
