apt-get install = Install the newest available version of the named
package
apt-get upgrade = Upgrade all installed packages to the newest
versions, except for those which would require new
packages to be installed or existing packages to be
removed
In the situation your last few posts have described, apt-get upgrade
would leave apt alone on the basis that installing the new version
would require the removal of up2date.
