Does the new way of upgrading in Jammy have to be this? sudo aptitude safe-upgrade I've noticed after several weeks of old method sudo apt upgrade I get left with dozens of packages kept back and have to do each one individually. I do not want to add aptitude or force the packages to update. I simply want apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to work as it has always worked.

    New way? I don't know, but it seems the duplicate I found was 10 years old - so don't know about any new way. Also see [here](https://askubuntu.com/questions/81585/what-is-dist-upgrade-and-why-does-it-upgrade-more-than-upgrade/). – Artur Meinild Sep 22 '22 at 10:40
  • https://askubuntu.com/questions/117088/aptitude-safe-upgrade-equivalence-with-apt-get Seems to be just as cumbersome as the other method I posted. Never had this problem till I updated the Distro. – EODCraft Staff Sep 22 '22 at 10:42

    Probably because [phased updates](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1420969/how-to-force-packages-that-have-been-kept-back-to-be-installed-as-automat/) was introduced then... It's nothing to worry about, packages will be installed eventually - or disable phased updates. – Artur Meinild Sep 22 '22 at 10:43
  • So if I just wait they will eventually be upgraded? – EODCraft Staff Sep 22 '22 at 10:44

    Yes - if you run `apt-cache policy ` you can see how long before it's phased in. – Artur Meinild Sep 22 '22 at 10:47
  • gonna uninstall aptitude then...Unnecessary! – EODCraft Staff Sep 22 '22 at 10:48

With Phased updates, the best option is to continue using apt-get upgrade and allow the packages that are kept back to eventually be phased in. No new method needs to be used, just patience.
