Ehm, the above does sound much more simple than this script: > 1. https://people.debian.org/~pabs/tmp/debian-upgrade Citing from the URL above: > apt-get update > apt-get -y upgrade > aptitude -y upgrade > apt-get -y dist-upgrade > aptitude -y dist-upgrade > apt-get -y autoremove Why in the world would someone use apt-get and aptitude alternately during a dist-upgrade? If you don't want to interfere with, you use apt-get (which should choose systemd-sysv) or you use aptitude because you want to interfere and interactively fine-tune aptitude's decisions anyway, so it shouldn't matter if aptitude chooses the one or the other because you're going to fine tune such stuff anyways. See the discussion starting at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756816#10 for a discussion about the fundamental differences in the approaches of and ideas behind apt-get and aptitude.
