|
|
<para><command>apt-get</command> is the command-line tool for handling packages, and may be
|
|
considered the user's "back-end" to other tools using the APT
|
|
library. Several "front-end" interfaces exist, such as &dselect;,
|
|
&aptitude;, &synaptic; and &wajig;.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Unless the <option>-h</option>, or <option>--help</option> option is given, one of the

commands below must be present.</para>
|
|
|
|
<variablelist>
|
|
<varlistentry><term>update</term>
|
|
<listitem><para><literal>update</literal> is used to resynchronize the package index files from
|
|
their sources. The indexes of available packages are fetched from the
|
|
location(s) specified in <filename>/etc/apt/sources.list</filename>.
|
|
For example, when using a Debian archive, this command retrieves and
|
|
scans the <filename>Packages.gz</filename> files, so that information about new
|
|
and updated packages is available. An <literal>update</literal> should always be
|
|
performed before an <literal>upgrade</literal> or <literal>dist-upgrade</literal>. Please
|
|
be aware that the overall progress meter will be incorrect as the size
|
|
of the package files cannot be known in advance.</para></listitem>
|
|
</varlistentry>
|
|
|
|
<varlistentry><term>upgrade</term>
|
|
<listitem><para><literal>upgrade</literal> is used to install the newest versions of all packages
|
|
currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in
|
|
<filename>/etc/apt/sources.list</filename>. Packages currently installed with
|
|
new versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no circumstances
|
|
are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed
|
|
retrieved and installed. New versions of currently installed packages that
|
|
cannot be upgraded without changing the install status of another package
|
|
will be left at their current version. An <literal>update</literal> must be
|
|
performed first so that <command>apt-get</command> knows that new versions of packages are
|
|
available.</para></listitem>
|
|
</varlistentry>
|
|
|
|
<varlistentry><term>dselect-upgrade</term>
|
|
<listitem><para><literal>dselect-upgrade</literal>
|
|
is used in conjunction with the traditional Debian packaging
|
|
front-end, &dselect;. <literal>dselect-upgrade</literal>
|
|
follows the changes made by &dselect; to the <literal>Status</literal>
|
|
field of available packages, and performs the actions necessary to realize
|
|
that state (for instance, the removal of old and the installation of new
|
|
packages).</para></listitem>
|
|
</varlistentry>
|
|
|
|
<varlistentry><term>dist-upgrade</term>
|
|
<listitem><para><literal>dist-upgrade</literal> in addition to performing the function of
|
|
<literal>upgrade</literal>, also intelligently handles changing dependencies
|
|
with new versions of packages; <command>apt-get</command> has a "smart" conflict
|
|
resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important
|
|
packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary.
|
|
So, <literal>dist-upgrade</literal> command may remove some packages.
|
|
The <filename>/etc/apt/sources.list</filename> file contains a list of locations
|
|
from which to retrieve desired package files.
|
|
See also &apt-preferences; for a mechanism for
|
|
overriding the general settings for individual packages.</para></listitem>
|
|
</varlistentry>
|
|
|
|
<varlistentry><term>install</term>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><literal>install</literal> is followed by one or more
|
|
packages desired for installation or upgrading.
|
|
Each package is a package name, not a fully qualified
|
|
filename (for instance, in a Debian GNU/Linux system,
|
|
libc6 would be the argument provided, not
|
|
<literal>libc6_1.9.6-2.deb</literal>). All packages required
|
|
by the package(s) specified for installation will also
|
|
be retrieved and installed.
|
|
The <filename>/etc/apt/sources.list</filename> file is
|
|
used to locate the desired packages. If a hyphen is
|
|
appended to the package name (with no intervening space),
|
|
the identified package will be removed if it is installed.
|
|
Similarly a plus sign can be used to designate a
|
|
package to install. These latter features may be used
|
|
to override decisions made by apt-get's conflict
|
|
resolution system.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A specific version of a package can be selected for installation by
|
|
following the package name with an equals and the version of the package
|
|
to select. This will cause that version to be located and selected for
|
|
install. Alternatively a specific distribution can be selected by
|
|
following the package name with a slash and the version of the
|
|
distribution or the Archive name (stable, testing, unstable).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Both of the version selection mechanisms can downgrade packages and must
|
|
be used with care.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This is also the target to use if you want to upgrade one or
|
|
more already-installed packages without upgrading every package
|
|
you have on your system. Unlike the "upgrade" target, which
|
|
installs the newest version of all currently installed packages,
|
|
"install" will install the newest version of only the package(s)
|
|
specified. Simply provide the name of the package(s) you wish
|
|
to upgrade, and if a newer version is available, it (and its
|
|
dependencies, as described above) will be downloaded and
|
|
installed.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Finally, the &apt-preferences; mechanism allows you to
|
|
create an alternative installation policy for
|
|
individual packages.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If no package matches the given expression and the expression contains one
|
|
of '.', '?' or '*' then it is assumed to be a POSIX regular expression,
|
|
and it is applied
|
|
to all package names in the database. Any matches are then installed (or
|
|
removed). Note that matching is done by substring so 'lo.*' matches 'how-lo'
|
|
and 'lowest'. If this is undesired, anchor the regular expression
|
|
with a '^' or '$' character, or create a more specific regular expression.</para></listitem>

|
|
<varlistentry><term>remove</term>
|
|
<listitem><para><literal>remove</literal> is identical to <literal>install</literal> except that packages are
|
|
removed instead of installed. Note the removing a package leaves its
|
|
configuration files in system. If a plus sign is appended to the package
|
|
name (with no intervening space), the identified package will be
|
|
installed instead of removed.</para></listitem>

<varlistentry><term>source</term>
|
|
<listitem><para><literal>source</literal> causes <command>apt-get</command> to fetch source packages. APT
|
|
will examine the available packages to decide which source package to
|
|
fetch. It will then find and download into the current directory the
|
|
newest available version of that source package while respect the
|
|
default release, set with the option <literal>APT::Default-Release</literal>,
|
|
the <option>-t</option> option or per package with the
|
|
<literal>pkg/release</literal> syntax, if possible.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Source packages are tracked separately
|
|
from binary packages via <literal>deb-src</literal> type lines
|
|
in the &sources-list; file. This means that you will need to add such a line
|
|
for each repository you want to get sources from. If you don't do this
|
|
you will properly get another (newer, older or none) source version than
|
|
the one you have installed or could install.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the <option>--compile</option> option is specified
|
|
then the package will be compiled to a binary .deb using
|

<command>dpkg-buildpackage</command>, if <option>--download-only</option>
|
|
is specified then the source package will not be unpacked.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A specific source version can be retrieved by postfixing the source name
|
|
with an equals and then the version to fetch, similar to the mechanism
|
|
used for the package files. This enables exact matching of the source
|
|
package name and version, implicitly enabling the
|
|
<literal>APT::Get::Only-Source</literal> option.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that source packages are not tracked like binary packages, they
|
|
exist only in the current directory and are similar to downloading source

tar balls.</para></listitem>
