apt-get update it isn't meant to install/upgrade any packages. It is 
meant to update the package information db on your system.

That sounds like the behavior for an apt-get upgrade.

How does it know what the latest version is? I thought that it checked 
the package db on your system and if there was a new version then it 
downloaded it. For the db to be up to date you would need to do an 
apt-get update.
You could also do an apt-get dist-upgrade. This will upgrade all 
installed packages and install any new dependencies for those packages.

To be or not to be, that is the question
                2b || !2b
(0b10)*(0b1100010) || !(0b10)*(0b1100010)
        0b11000100 || !0b11000100
        0b11000100 || 0b00111011
               0b11111111
        255, that is the answer.
