Mmm, actually no, it tells to use "apt-get upgrade" https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#minimal-upgrade Possibly this should be turned to "apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs" ? Otherwise people will continue replacing apt-get with apt in "apt-get upgrade" without knowing that they are really different, and get upgrading bugs that maintainers that use "apt-get upgrade" (expectedly) do not get. > and even has a note about the difference [1].

I did see some users getting upgrading issues when running "apt upgrade", while "apt-get upgrade" first would have solved them. Samuel
