&lt;dt&gt;..raw:: html&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dd&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code class="docutils literal"&gt;`bash
&lt;span class="pre"&gt;user@titanic:~#&lt;/span&gt; sudo aptitude upgrade
W: The "upgrade" command is deprecated; use &lt;span class="pre"&gt;"safe-upgrade"&lt;/span&gt; instead.
&lt;span class="pre"&gt;....&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="pre"&gt;user@titanic:~#&lt;/span&gt;
`&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WTF !?!?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A supposedly safe upgrade mechanism is NOT the default? Why isn't the default marked as dangerous instead and the safe option used as default? Why should I even try to use "safe"-upgrade?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/dd&gt;
