Maybe stretch decided to turn it on by default? (Stretch documents a "--no-show-upgraded" option with no short equivalent. Also, the -u option is accepted without complaint. Backward compatibility?) Also, the -u in "apt-get -h" was from jessie... my bad, for reading the man page on stretch, but then using apt-get -h on jessie. I didn't expect there to be such a large difference between the two. So, testing... yes. It does appear that "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-get -u upgrade" both do the same thing on stretch. I'll probably still type the -u anyway, out of habit, and because I have many older systems that need it.

Configuration Item: APT::Get::Show-Upgraded. Also, another option that could be more useful: -s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur based on the current system state but do not actually change the system. Locking will be disabled (Debug::NoLocking) so the system state could change while apt-get is running. Simulations can also be executed by non-root users which might not have read access to all apt configuration distorting the simulation. A notice expressing this warning is also shown by default for non-root users (APT::Get::Show-User-Simulation-Note). Configuration Item: APT::Get::Simulate. Have fun :)

I strongly recommend using the half-documented -u option here: apt-get -u upgrade It's not in the man page, but it IS in the "apt-get -h" output. That way you'll have some warning of which services are going to be affected. If, for example, you see that your database server is going to be upgraded, and you know that this will impact your users, you may want to wait until a less busy time to do the upgrade, and shut down your database-client application(s), etc. This is also one of the reasons why unattended upgrades are not on by default.

Is this because actually no > packages have been updated or is there another reason? There were two or three security updates yesterday. If you are using "stable", be sure you have "security" URL's in your sources.list. It is possible that you don't have heimdal, ekg, or libgadu3 on your system and if that is the case, you would not have seen updates. If you are a Kopete user, you probably do have libgadu3 libraries on your system and those should be upgraded. The security advisory suggested restarting Kopete after updating the packages. 8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Start following debian-devel and go search through the new maintainer documentation over on the website.

If it were just a matter of getting the thing built for upload, you could build an unstable chroot to do that.
