A quick reference for refreshing / updating / upgrading packages on Ubuntu. The first script block runs all the updates, cleans repositories an finally removes unneeded packages. The second block installs ucaresystem-core which runs automatically – this integrates all the prior operations into one component and automates the process during package operations.
apt-get update: refreshes available repositories and updates package versions – it does not install or modify any packages.
apt-get upgrade: Installs / upgrades existing packages, should be run after the aforementioned update command.
