The overviews of available packages are fetched from the -location(s) specified in bf(/etc/apt/sources.list). -For example, when using a Debian archive, this command retrieves and -scans the bf(Packages.gz) files, so that information about new and updated -packages is available. An bf(update) should always be performed before an -bf(upgrade) bf(dist-upgrade). Please be aware that the overall progress -meter will be incorrect as the size of the package files cannot be known in -advance. - -dit(bf(upgrade)) -bf(upgrade) is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently -installed on the system from the sources enumerated in -bf(/etc/apt/sources.list). Packages currently installed with new versions -available are retrieved and upgraded; under no circumstances are currently -installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and -installed. New versions of currently installed packages that cannot be -upgraded without changing the install status of another package will be left -at their current version. An bf(update) must be performed first so that -bf(apt-get) knows that new versions of packages are available. - -dit(bf(dselect-upgrade)) -bf(dselect-upgrade) -is used in conjunction with the traditional Debian GNU/Linux packaging -front-end, bf(dselect (8)). bf(dselect-upgrade) -follows the changes made by bf(dselect) to the em(Status) -field of available packages, and performs the actions necessary to realize -that state (for instance, the removal of old and the installation of new -packages). - -dit(bf(dist-upgrade)) -bf(dist-upgrade),in addition to performing the function of bf(upgrade), -also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of -packages; bf(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. The bf(/etc/apt/sources.list) file contains a -list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files. - -dit(bf(install)) -bf(install) is followed by one or more em(packages) desired for installation. -Each em(package) is a package name, not a fully qualified filename -(for instance, in a Debian GNU/Linux system, em(ldso) would be the argument -provided, not em(ldso_1.9.6-2.deb)). All packages required by the package(s) -specified for installation will also be retrieved and installed. The -bf(/etc/apt/sources.list) file is used to locate the desired packages. If a -hyphen is appended to the package name (with no intervening space), the -identified package will be removed if it is installed. This latter feature -may be used to override decisions made by apt-get's conflict resolution system. - -If no package matches the given expression and the expression contains one -of '.', '?' or '*' then it is assumed to be a POSIX regex and it is applied -to all package names in the database. Any matches are then installed (or -removed). Note that matching is done by substring so 'lo*' matches 'how-lo' -and 'lowest'. If this is undesired prefix with a '^' character. - -dit(bf(remove)) -bf(remove) is identical to bf(install) except that packages are removed -instead of installed. If a plus sign is appended to the package name (with no -intervening space), the identified package will be installed. - -dit(bf(source)) -bf(source) causes apt-get to fetch source packages. APT will examine the -available packages to decide which source package to fetch. It will then -find and download into the current directory the newest available version of -that source package. Source packages are tracked separately from binary -packages via bf(deb-src) type lines in the bf(/etc/apt/sources.list) file. -This probably will mean that you will not get the same source as the package -you have installed or as you could install. If the --compile options is -specified then the package will be compiled to a binary .deb using -dpkg-buildpackage, if --download-only is specified then the source package -will not be unpacked. - -Note that source packages are not tracked like binary packages, they exist -only in the current directory and are similar to downloading source -tar balls. - -dit(bf(check)) -bf(check) is a diagnostic tool; it updates the package cache and checks for -broken packages. - -dit(bf(clean)) -bf(clean) clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. It -removes everything but the lock file from bf(/var/cache/apt/archives/) -and bf(/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/). -When APT is used as a bf(dselect(8)) method, bf(clean) is run automatically. -Those who do not use dselect will likely want to run code(apt-get clean) -from time to time to free up disk space. - -dit(bf(autoclean)) -Like bf(clean), bf(autoclean) clears out the local repository of retrieved -package files. The difference is that it only removes package files that -can no longer be downloaded, and are largely useless. This allows a -cache to be maintained over a long period without it growing out of -control. - -enddit() - -manpageoptions() -All command line options may be set using the configuration file, the -descriptions indicate the configuration option to set. For boolean -options you can override the config file by using something like bf(-f-), -bf(--no-f), bf(-f=no) or several other variations. - -startdit() -dit(bf(-d, --download-only)) -Download only; package files are only retrieved, not unpacked or installed. -Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::Download-Only). - -dit(bf(-f, --fix-broken)) -Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in -place. This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages -to permit APT to deduce a likely soltion. Any Package that are specified -must completly correct the problem. The option is sometimes necessary when -running APT for the first time; APT itself does not allow broken package -dependencies to exist on a system. It is possible that a system's -dependency structure can be so corrupt as to require manual intervention -(which usually means using dselect or dpkg --remove to eliminate some of -the offending packages). Use of this option together with -m may produce an -error in some situations. Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::Fix-Broken). - -dit(bf(-h, --help)) -Help; display a helpful usage message and exits. - -dit(bf(-v, --version)) -Show the program version. - -dit(bf(-m, --ignore-missing, --fix-missing)) -Ignore missing packages; If packages cannot be retrieved or fail the -integrity check after retrieval (corrupted package files), hold back -those packages and handle the result. Use of this option together with --f may produce an error in some situations. If a package is selected for -installation (particularly if it is mentioned on the command line) and it -could not be downloaded then it will be silently held back. -Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::ignore-missing). - -dit(bf(--no-download)) -Disables downloading of packages. This is best used with --ignore-missing to -force APT to use only the .debs it has already downloaded. -Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::No-Download). - -dit(bf(-q, --quiet)) -Quiet; produces output suitable for logging, omitting progress indicators. -More q's will produce more quiet up to a maximum of 2. You can also use -bf(-q=#) to set the quiet level, overriding the configuration file. Note that -quiet level 2 implies -y, you should never use -qq without a no-action -modifier such as -d, --print-uris or -s as APT may decided to do something -you did not expect. -Configuration Item: bf(quiet) - -dit(bf(-s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act)) -No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur but do not -actually change the system. Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::Simulate). - -Simulate prints out -a series of lines each one representing a dpkg operation, Configure (Conf), -Remove (Remv), Unpack (Inst). Square brackets indicate broken packages with -and empty set of square brackets meaning breaks that are of no consequence -(rare). - -dit(bf(-y, --yes, --assume-yes)) -Automatic yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all prompts and run -non-interactively. If an undesirable situation, such as changing a held -package or removing an essential package occurs then bf(apt-get) will -abort. Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::Assume-Yes). - -dit(bf(-u, --show-upgraded)) -Show upgraded packages; Print out a list of all packages that are to be -upgraded. Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::Show-Upgraded). - -dit(bf(-b, --compile, --build)) -Compile source packages after downloading them. -Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::Compile). - -dit(bf(--ignore-hold)) -Ignore package Holds; This causes bf(apt-get) to ignore a hold placed on -a package. This may be useful in conjunction with bf(dist-upgrade) to -override a large number of undesired holds. Configuration Item: bf(APT::Ignore-Hold). - -dit(bf(--no-upgrade)) -Do not upgrade packages; When used in conjunction with bf(install) -bf(no-upgrade) will prevent packages listed from being upgraded if they -are already installed. Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::no-upgrade). - -dit(bf(--force-yes)) -Force yes; This is a dangerous option that will cause apt to continue without -prompting if it is doing something potentially harmful. It should not be used -except in very special situations. Using bf(force-yes) can potentially destroy -your system! Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::force-yes). - -dit(bf(--print-uris)) -Instead of fetching the files to install their URIs are printed. Each -URI will have the path, the destination file name, the size and the expected -md5 hash. Note that the file name to write to will not always match -the file name on the remote site! This also works with the bf(source) -command. Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::Print-URIs). - -dit(bf(--purge)) -Use purge instead of remove for anything that would be removed. -Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::Purge). - -dit(bf(--reinstall)) -Re-Install packages that are already installed and at the newest version. - -dit(bf(--list-cleanup)) -This option defaults to on, use bf(--no-list-cleanup) to turn it off. -When on apt-get will automatically manage the contents of -/var/state/apt/lists to ensure that obsolete files are erased. The only -reason to turn it off is if you frequently change your source list. -Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::List-Cleanup) - -dit(bf(--trivial-only)) -Only perform operations are 'trivial'. Logically this can be considered -related to --assume-yes, where --assume-yes will answer yes to any prompt, ---trivial-only will answer no. Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::Trivial-Only) - -dit(bf(--no-remove)) -If any packages are to be removed apt-get immediately aborts without -prompting. Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::No-Remove) - -dit(bf(--diff-only), bf(--tar-only)) -Download only the diff or tar file of a source archive. -Configuration Item: bf(APT::Get::Diff-Only) - -dit(bf(-c, --config-file)) -Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. bf(apt-get) will -read the default configuration file and then this configuration file.
