+**NOTE:**  Three types of lines are shown: Hit, Get, and Ign.
+  * **Hit**:  There is no change in the package version.
+  * **Ign**:  The package is being ignored.
+    * There could be various reasons for that, including:
+      * The package is so recent that it does not even bother to check for a new version.
+      * There was an error in retrieving the file but error was trivial and thus it is being ignored. This is not an error. There is no need to be worried.
+  * **Get**:  There is a new version of the package available.
+    * apt-get will download this information (not the package itself).
