    Remember you have to say apt dist-upgrade to get the minor version bump.

      Um, do you? I don’t seem to need to, never had except for major release updates and changing sources.

      Just now;

      root@backups:~# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="13"
VERSION="13 (trixie)"
VERSION_CODENAME=trixie
DEBIAN_VERSION_FULL=13.5

      Then “apt update” and “apt upgrade” followed by “reboot” and

      root@backups:~# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="13"
VERSION="13 (trixie)"
VERSION_CODENAME=trixie
DEBIAN_VERSION_FULL=13.6

        Afaik apt-get upgrade would not add or remove packages, where dist-upgrade would. However apt upgrade will install new packages but not remove any. Where full-upgrade (new naming, but dist-upgrade is also kept for the same function) will also remove packages.
