NAME

       upgrade-system - APT front-end to automate system upgrades

DESCRIPTION

       upgrade-system is an APT front-end that simplifies regular upgrading of
       Debian systems, only requiring an administrator’s intervention whenever
       updated packages necessitate the configuration of new features.

OPTIONS

       None.

USAGE

       upgrade-system is run from the command line shell by the administrator.
       It performs the following actions:

       ·  Resynchronize the list of available packages.

       ·  Upgrade all packages to their newest version.

       ·  Clean retrieved archives off the APT cache.

       ·  Remove orphan configurations and packages (disabled by default).

FILES

       /etc/upgrade-system.conf

SECURITY

       Because upgrade-system is an APT front-end, all precautions relating to
       APT configuration should be observed. See upgrade-system.conf(5).
