What's the difference between sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get install -f?
Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get install -f?
On my machine the output is:
ubuntu@ubuntu:/usr/local/lib/openssl-1.0.2r $ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
pix-icons pix-plym-splash pixel-wallpaper raspberrypi-ui-mods
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
ubuntu@ubuntu:/usr/local/lib/openssl-1.0.2r $ sudo apt-get install -f
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Is there a situation where one is better than the other? Or is there an example of when only one will accomplish what the user needs as opposed to the other. Apparently apt-get upgrade updates package lists, but the man page for apt-get install with -f says:
-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 solution. Any package(s) that are specified must completely correct the problem. This 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. Use of this option together with -m may produce an error in some situations.
Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Broken.
This quote isn't super clear to me and seems to mayyyyybe be saying that it also updates package lists? Could someone with knowledge enlighten me?
