NAME

       upgrade-system - Command for upgrading and sanitizing a Debian system

SYNOPSIS

       upgrade-system

DESCRIPTION

       upgrade-system  is  an  APT  front-end  that simplifies regular upgrading of Debian systems, only requiring an administrator's intervention
       whenever updated packages necessitate the configuration of new features.

USAGE

       upgrade-system is run from the command line shell by the administrator. It performs the following actions:

       o  Resynchronize the list of available packages.

       o  Upgrade all packages to their newest version.

       o  Remove all obsolete package dependencies.

       o  Clean retrieved archives off the APT cache.

ENVIRONMENT

       Setting the FLAUSCH environment variable enables useful advanced system sanitization features. See upgrade-system.conf(5) for more details.
