In michael's defense, take this entry from the apt-get mapage: dist-upgrade dist-upgrade, in addition to performing the funcĀ tion of upgrade, also intelligently handles changĀ ing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files. I agree we all need to know the tools we use, and I'll be the first to admit that I have learning to do too, just like michael. However, the manpage is where I start... and when I read this, it sure seemed like a good idea to use dist-upgrade rather than upgrade. Maybe I should have dug deeper to be sure, but...
