NAME
upgrade-system - Command for upgrading and sanitizing a Debian system
SYNOPSIS
upgrade-system
DESCRIPTION
upgrade-system is an APT front-end that simplifies regular upgrading of Debian systems, only requiring an administrator's intervention whenever updated packages necessitate the configuration of new features. The command sequentially performs the following operations: • Synchronize the list of available Debian packages. • Upgrade all installed packages to their newest versions. • Recursively uninstall all obsolete package dependencies. • Clean retrieved archives off the APT cache.
ENVIRONMENT
Setting the FLAUSCH environment variable enables useful advanced system sanitization features. See upgrade-system.conf(5) for more details.
