<br>
If a new version of a package you have installed has an additional<br>
dependency, then an `apt-get upgrade` won't pull that in. However, a<br>
`apt-get dist-upgrade` turns off some of the guards that prevent new<br>
packages being installed.<br>
<br>
As for safety, it's always a good idea to check what apt-get will do<br>
before you hit "y". There is a chance that a new version of a package<br>
might conflict with something you really care about and that conflict<br>
might cause the other package(s) to be removed. A normal upgrade would<br>
refuse to install the newer version, but a dist-upgrade would happily<br>
install the new version and remove the other packages.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
