It's not dangerous, but makes no sense to run an upgrade after the
update fails, so it doesn't matter if your hint does use ";" or "&&".
You get a complaint from me, for using the assume-yes option, not for
using the semicolon.
Btw. "apt clean" makes no sense unless you run
"apt full-upgrade -o APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages=1" or you made
keeping packages the default, since by the original apt default packages
aren't cached. I recommend against usage of purge, unless important
configs are backuped. Again, I'm against the assume-yes option, users
should take the time to read, understand and confirm.
