That's apt-get update, not upgrade. 'update' tells apt to fetch the
up-to-date package lists from/for the specified sources. 'dist-upgrade' is
similar to upgrade, except that it's a lot more aggressive about installing
extra dependencies and stuff, given that it know it has to upgrade across a
whole distribution.
