====== Ubuntu - Packages - Upgrade the packages ======

===== Safe-Upgrade =====

The safest way to upgrade is to use the action '**safe-upgrade**' as the previously used action '**upgrade**' has been deprecated.

The new action will upgrade a package only if it does not impact other packages, i-e: if it is necessary to add or remove a dependency package during upgrade, safe-upgrade won't upgrade.


<code bash>
aptitude safe-upgrade
</code>

----

===== Full-Upgrade =====

If you want to force the upgrade anyway, the action '**full-upgrade**' (previously known as '**dist-upgrade**') can be used.

With this command, aptitude will upgrade to the latest version of a package even if it is necessary to add or remove dependencies.

<code bash>
aptitude full-upgrade
</code>
