apt upgrade only does a partial upgrade on your system and if that's
all you do, your system can get into a place where dependencies get
out of wack and the system breaks.
instead do:
apt full-upgrade
or
apt dist-upgrade
They both do the exact same exact thing, except full upgrade is the
new name for dist upgrade option becuase too many people only did
upgrade because they were afraid that dist-upgrade would actually
upgrade their distribution to the new version... it doesn't. It just
tells your system to upgrade all the packages, where plain old upgrade
tells the system to only upgrade packages that don't require any
additional packages to installed or uninstalled.... which can leave
security problems on your system if the update requires additional
packages to be installed.
If you've been doing only upgrade for a really long time; be prepared
for some broken dependencies that wouldn't have happened if you had
done dist-upgrades instead.... Hopefully apt's dependency calculator
will just take care of it for you and all will be good with the world
again.
