I think you made a typo somewhere in there. > Only when APT mentions packages being kept on hold it is necessary to > *try* 'apt full-upgrade' or 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. Do note that "apt upgrade" includes the option to install new packages if necessary, whereas "apt-get upgrade" does not. This is an important difference between the two. You can get that behavior from apt-get by adding the --with-new-pkgs option, but it's hard to remember and hard to type. I suspect most apt-get users just bump it up to "apt-get dist-upgrade" whenever there's a new kernel ABI or whatever.
