DIFFERENCES TO APT-GET(8) The apt command is meant to be pleasant for end users and does not need to be backward compatible like apt-get(8). Therefore some options are different:
· The option DPkgPM::Progress-Fancy is enabled. · The option APT::Color is enabled. · A new list command is available similar to dpkg --list. · The option upgrade has --with-new-pkgs enabled by default.
