  1. update
  2. update is used to resynchronize the package index files from their sources. The indexes of available packages are fetched
  3. from the location(s) specified in /etc/apt/sources.list. For example, when using a Debian archive, this command retrieves and
  4. scans the Packages.gz files, so that information about new and updated packages is available. An update should always be
  5. performed before an upgrade or dist-upgrade. Please be aware that the overall progress meter will be incorrect as the size of
  6. the package files cannot be known in advance.

  8. upgrade
  9. upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated
  10. in /etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no
  11. circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed. New
  12. versions of currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the install status of another package will
  13. be left at their current version. An update must be performed first so that apt-get knows that new versions of packages are
  14. available.

  16. dist-upgrade
  17. dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new
  18. versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important
  19. packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. The dist-upgrade command may therefore remove some packages. The
  20. /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files. See also
  21. apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for overriding the general settings for individual packages.
