NAME

       nala-upgrade - Update the package list and upgrade the system

SYNOPSIS

       nala upgrade [--options]

DESCRIPTION

       By default nala will run the equivalent of apt update && apt full-upgrade --auto-remove.

       If  you  are  just looking to update the package cache and not actually perform an upgrade
       you can use:
              nala update

OPTIONS

       --exclude
              Specify packages to exclude during upgrade.  Accepts globs*

              --exclude only takes one package as an argument,  but  can  be  specified  multiple
              times:
                     nala upgrade --exclude apt --exclude dpkg

              NOTE:  Due  to  the  way  that  excusions are handled, you may want to additionally
              supply --no-full to ensure Nala doesn't remove packages you plan to keep.

       --full, --no-full

       --full This will run the equivalent of apt full-upgrade

              This variant is the default

       --no-full
              This will run the equivalent of apt-get upgrade

       --purge
              Purge any packages that would removed during the transaction.

       --debug
              Print helpful information for solving issues.  If you're submitting  a  bug  report
              try running the command again with --debug and providing the output to the devs, it
              may be helpful.

       --raw-dpkg
              Force nala not to format dpkg output.

              This disables all formatting and it would look as if you were using apt.

              A more indepth explanation for what this switch does, nala will fork a tty  instead
              of a pty for dpkg.

              nala  will  also  not  display  a  progress  bar  for  dpkg  with  this  turned on.
              Additionally the language of the output will not be forced into  English  for  this
              mode.

       -d, --download-only
              Packages are only retrieved, not unpacked or installed.

       --remove-essential
              Allow the removal of essential packages.

              This is very dangerous, but we thought you should have the option.

       --assume-yes, --assume-no

              -y, --assume-yes

                     Automatically select yes for any prompts which may need your input.

                     If the configuration option assume_yes is true, this switch will set it back
                     to default behavior

              -n, --assume-no

                     Automatically select no for any prompts which may need your input.

       --simple, --no-simple

              --simple

                     Show a more simple and condensed transaction summary.

              --no-simple

                     Show the standard table transatction summary with more information.

                     This variant is the default

       -o, --option
              Set options to pass through to apt, nala, or dpkg.

              Example:

                            nala install --option Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew"

                     Disable scrolling text for nala

                            nala install --option Nala::scrolling_text="false"

                     Allow nala to update unauthenticated repositories:

                            nala install --option* APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated="true"

       -v, --verbose
              Disable scrolling text and print extra information
