A thread about dist-upgrade has me confused. In my experience
I have only ever run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' when I wanted to move
from one release to the next, say, from squeeze to wheezy.
Similarly, if I wanted to insure I had the latest versions of
packages already installed (and any/all security fixes) I have run
'apt-get update' followed immediately by 'apt-get upgrade.'
But the thread currently underway about dist-upgrade suggests that
users are running it rather routinely, and not at all necessarily
to move from one release to the next.
Can someone please point out what I am missing?
Thanks,
