Is the Update Manager (or Software Updater) the frontend of apt-get dist-upgrade?
Strictly, Update Manager
, Software Centre
and the apt suite (apt-get
and apt-cache
) are all front-ends to dpkg
so anything that can be done with one can done with the others, but it is usually much easier to use the GUI tools which will also handle editing the config files automaically.
Note that the only dpkg
command that most people use directly is dpkg --configure -a
to fix things up when an install fails.
