Huge anti-feature of dnf IMO, always totally confusing me when I'm on an
RPM system.

Title:
apt {upgrade,install, source
Ideally, `apt-get` could behave like a `dnf`, updating caches on
`update` after some expiration period.
apt-get upgrade --refresh-period=2h
The example session from `dnf`.
~ sudo dnf update

Just a comment...
'apt' indicates that its cli is unstable and should not be relied upon by
scripts.
So fixing this general problem in 'apt' (and not apt-get) means you fix it
possibly for humans who are typing things, but all non-human package
installations needlessly have to 'apt-get update'.
Alternate:
- a `-u`/`--update` option that unconditionally performs an apt update
as an option to apt itself, since every subcommand except `update` and
`edit-sources` can potentially benefit from an `update` beforehand. For
`edit-sources`, have it update after instead of before, and for
`update`,
** Summary changed:
- apt {upgrade,install} require an update call first
+ apt {upgrade,install, source} require an update call first
