DESCRIPTION

       sbuild-update runs  apt-get  inside  the  specified  chroot  performing  update,  upgrade,
       dist-upgrade,  clean,  autoclean,  and/or autoremove depending on the options specified on
       the command line.

       sbuild-upgrade, sbuild-distupgrade, and sbuild-clean, are deprecated. They now simply  run
       sbuild-update with the appropriate options (--upgrade or --dist-upgrade for sbuild-upgrade
       or sbuild-distupgrade respectively) along with  whatever  arguments  were  passed  in  the
       scripts.

OPTIONS

   Actions
       -h, --help
              Display this manual.

       -V, --version
              Print version information.

       --arch=architecture
              Update chroot for the architecture specified.

       -u, --update
              Perform an apt-get update.

       -g, --upgrade
              Perform an apt-get upgrade.

       -d, --dist-upgrade
              Perform an apt-get dist-upgrade.

       -c, --clean
              Perform an apt-get clean.

       -a, --autoclean
              Perform an apt-get autoclean.

       -r, --autoremove
              Perform an apt-get autoremove.

   Chroot selection
       --chroot-mode=schroot|sudo|unshare
              The  sbuild chroot backend of the chroot to update.  The autopkgtest backend is not
              supported by this method because autopkgtest  backends  are  always  ephemeral  and
              changes never persist.  To update a chroot for schroot and sudo, sbuild-update must
              be executed with superuser privileges (for example  by  using  sudo).   Creating  a
              chroot  for  the unshare backend can be done by a normal user (without sudo) but it
              requires   Linux   user   namespaces   to    be    enabled    (via    "sysctl    -w
              kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1").  Defaults to 'schroot'.

       CHROOT The  chroot  to  use.   Note  that  ‘o’,  ‘s’,  ‘t’,  ‘u’  and  ‘e’  may be used as
              abbreviations for ‘oldstable’, ‘stable’, ‘testing’, ‘unstable’ and  ‘experimental’,
              respectively.

EXAMPLES

       To update the unstable chroot:

       % sbuild-update --update unstable

       To upgrade the unstable chroot:

       % sbuild-update --upgrade unstable

       To clean the unstable chroot:

       % sbuild-update --clean unstable

       To  perform  an  update,  dist-upgrade,  clean, autoclean, and autoremove for the unstable
       chroot:

       % sbuild-update -udcar unstable
