Upgrading Ubuntu Jammy

Question

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. — 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 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
Yes - if you run apt-cache policy <packagename> you can see how long before it's phased in. — Artur Meinild, Sep 22 '22 at 10:47

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.
