'dist-upgrade' vs Lite Update - MS - 04-06-2019
Is there any difference between using the Lite Update tool and using the 'dist-upgrade' command?

I believe so. The upgrade may include changes in repository information and other stuff that "dist-upgrade" may not include.

On the other hand, if 'dist-upgrade' added anything beyond the Lite Update, it could basically spoil the carefully selected out list of things, even if run once, summoning an entire mass of leftover updates.

What is 'Lite Update'? I can't address this unless I understand the content.

dist-upgrade is used in Install Updates. We don't use apt-upgrade because:
Quote:dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of apt-upgrade,
also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions
of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and
it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the
expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade
command may remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file
contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package
files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for overriding
the general settings for individual packages.
This will never change and is the way we will always do our Updates.

Great, good to know, just asking.

You mean, upgrading the system? But what does it differ between 'dist-upgrade' command and the Lite Update?
