dist-upgrade

[Thufir]

Pardon, I expect this is an RTFM question, but how do I upgrade from the 
CLI?  Perhaps I have a setting somewhere preventing the upgrade from 
working (9.10 to 10.x)?

FWIW, I did actually read the man page and tried a few other options as 
well, such as full-upgrade with similar results.  Individual packages do 
update, just not the "system" (?).  The kernel updated just the other 
day, for example.



thanks,
