As an aside, you should consider using 'apt' and not 'apt-get'.
Why? What functional difference is there between 'apt-get upgrade' and
'apt-get install' and the apt equivalents?
See below.
I don't agree with john doe's assertion; I'm just answering the literal
question.
Reading Debian wiki 'apt-get' is no longer the recommended way to manage
pkgs:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPackageManagement
"apt upgrade" will install new packages, if necessary, to satisfy the
upgrade dependencies; "apt-get upgrade" will not. This is quite visible
every time there's a new kernel ABI bump.
This behavior is expected if you read apt(8):
