Package: apt
Severity: wishlist
Greetings!
First, I love apt. Simply wonderful stuff.
Second, it sure would be nice to give a command line such as the
following: "apt-get -u upgrade install foo bar baz" and conditionally
upgrade all packages, and install the packages foo, bar, and baz.
Rationale: sometimes packages won't upgrade due to dependencies.
Allowing this would allow all packages to be upgraded in one go, plus
whatever needed to be done for the foo, bar, and baz packages.
Thanks again for the wonderful software! :)

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.
