Only the -.B install -command requires any further arguments. -.SS update -.B update -is used to resynchronize the package overview files from their -sources. The overviews of available packages are fetched from the -location(s) specified in -.IR /etc/apt/sources.list . -For example, when using a Debian archive, this command retrieves and -scans the -.I Packages.gz -files, so that information about new and updated packages is available. An -.B update -should always be performed before an -.B upgrade -or -.BR dist-upgrade . -.SS upgrade -.B upgrade -is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed -on the system from the sources enumerated in -.IR /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 -.B update -must be performed first so that -.B apt-get -knows that new versions of packages are available. -.SS dselect-upgrade -.B dselect-upgrade -is used in conjunction with the traditional Debian GNU/Linux packaging -front-end, -.BR dselect (8). " dselect-upgrade" -follows the changes made by -.B dselect -to the -.I 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). -.B dselect-upgrade -does not attempt to intelligently address dependency issues as -.B dist-upgrade -or -.B install -do. If any dependency problems arise, -.B apt-get -aborts without performing any of the actions requested, even those -without problems. -.B dselect-upgrade -is only useful to users of -.B dselect -and the -.I .deb -package file format. The -.I /etc/apt/sources.list -file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package -files. -.SS dist-upgrade -.BR dist-upgrade , -in addition to performing the function of -.BR upgrade , -also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of -packages; -.B 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 -.I /etc/apt/sources.list -file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package -files. -.SS install -.B install -is followed by one or more -.I packages -desired for installation. Each -.I package -is a package name, not a fully qualified filename (for instance, in a -Debian GNU/Linux system, -.I lsdo -would be the argument provided, not -.IR ldso_1.9.6-2.deb ). -All packages required by the package(s) specified for installation will -also be retrieved and installed. The -.I /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. -.SS check -.B check -is a diagnostic tool; it updates the package cache and checks for broken -packages. -.SS clean -.B clean -clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. It removes -everything but the lock file from -.I /var/cache/apt/archives/ -and -.IR /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/ . -When APT is used as a -.BR dselect (8) -method, -.B -clean -is run automatically. Those who do not use dselect will likely want to -run -.B -apt-get clean -from time to time to free up disk space. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.IR \-d , " --download-only" -Download only; package files are only retrieved, not unpacked or installed. -.TP -.IR \-f , " --fix-broken" -Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in -place. This option may be used alone or in conjunction with any of the -command actions, and 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 is discouraged. -.TP -.IR \-h , " --help" -Help; display a helpful usage message and exit. -.TP -.IR \-m , " --ignore-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 is discouraged. -.TP -.IR \-q , " --silent" -Quiet; produces output suitable for logging, omitting progress indicators. -.TP -.I \-qq -Very quiet; no output except for errors. -.TP -.IR \-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. -.TP -.IR \-y , " --yes" , " --assume-yes" -Automatic yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all prompts and run -non-interactively. -.SH FILES -.TP -.I /etc/apt/sources.list -see -.BR sources.list (5) -.TP -.I /var/cache/apt/archives/ -storage area for retrieved package files -.TP -.I /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/ -storage area for package files in transit -.TP -.I /var/state/apt/lists/ -storage area for state information for each package resource specified in -.I /etc/apt/sources.list -.TP -.I /var/state/apt/lists/partial/ -storage area for state information in transit -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR apt-cache (8), -.BR dpkg (8), -.BR dselect (8), -.BR sources.list (5) -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -apt-get returns zero on normal operation, decimal 100 on error. -.SH BUGS -See .
