apk-upgrade - Man Page

apk upgrade [<options>.​.​.​] [<packages>.​.​.​]

apk upgrade upgrades installed packages to the latest version available from configured package repositories (see apk-repositories(5)).​ When no packages are specified, all packages are upgraded if possible.​ If list of packages is provided, only those packages are upgraded along with needed dependencies.​

apk upgrade supports the commit options described in apk(8), as well as the following options:

-a,  --available

Reset all packages to versions available from current repositories.​ This resets all versioned dependencies in world (see apk-world(5)).​ Additionally, packages are selected from active repositories if possible even if it means replacing or downgrading the package.​

This is useful to reset system against new set of packages after updating repositories.​

--ignore

Upgrade all other packages than the ones listed.​ This inverts the given package name list to mean packages that should not be upgraded.​

-l,  --latest

Always choose the latest package by version.​ However, the versions considered are based on the package pinning.​ Primarily this overrides the default heuristic and will cause an error to displayed if all dependencies cannot be satisfied.​

--no-self-upgrade

Do not do an early upgrade of the 'apk-tools' package.​

--prune

Prune the world by removing packages which are no longer available from any configured repository.​

--self-upgrade-only

Only perform a self-upgrade of the 'apk-tools' package.​
