questions about 'apt-get'

[user4747]

Hello,

 

I have two questions about 'apt-get'.

 

How come that the debian 4.0.5 image the apt command will not accept 'apt update' or 'apt upgrade'?

 

Is this a typical debian thing?

 

Also how do I please enable the colored progress bar for apt?

 

Thx,user4747

To use just apt update ...  looks like you are a Linux Mint user, they wrote a python-programm to do so.

 

The real APT needs the complete command:

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

apt-cache show ...

apt-cache search ..

 

hmm, Mr. Google could have told you that right away.
