Package: apt Version: 2.7.14build2 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, The man pages do not make it clear that the full-upgrade and dist-upgrade commands are aliases that perform the same operation. In doc/apt.8.xml, only full-upgrade is mentioned but apt accepts both. In doc/apt-get.8.xml, full-upgrade is not listed as an alias but is mentioned under the update option where dist-upgrade is not. Both man pages should list both commands as alternate terms, and all references to the command in the synopsis and other sections should only use the preferred term. Ideally, both documents would prefer the same term, for consistency, but at least each should be self-consistent. Regards, Roy.
