DESCRIPTION

       Update-manager is especially designed for upgrading your system, or migrating your system towards a more recent version.

       -h, --help
              Show a similar help message

       -c, --check-dist-upgrades
              Check if a new distribution release is available

       -d, --devel-release
              Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible

              Try to run a dist-upgrade

       --dist-upgrade

ACTIONS PERFORMED DURING AN UPGRADE TO A NEW VERSION
