I In the german translation, you are right, but the english one is just very very similar: Read the last sentence again and you will notice that in the second case there is a 'not' in it inverting the meaning - which is also the behavior as --no-upgrade is the inverse of --only-upgrade. That said, i had to read that a few times, too, and i actually wrote this section if i remember right… (clearly by copy&pasting from --only-upgrade … Please don't ask what i was thinking at that time…) > _guess_ the correct description would be: > > Do not install new packages; When used in conjunction > with install, --only-upgrade will prevent new packages > from being installed. Already installed packages will > be upgraded. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Only-Upgrade. Either way, we should change that as it is really not that easy to understand if you read both, so i merged this and the bug about the german translation of it as a new string will require an update to the po-file anyway (as any other translation, too), so we don't need to track that separately - i think this is a computer aided translation mistake to begin with as it is just sooo similar that translation tools could think it is a fuzzy string instead of new… Anyway: I think the ". Already […]" sounds a bit jerky (= "abgehackt") so what do you think about: Do not install new packages; When used in conjunction with install, only-upgrade will install upgrades for already installed packages only and ignore requests to install new packages.
