Hi All

While re-viewing the difference(s) between full-upgrade, dist-upgrade and 
upgrade

I came across (on Ask Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && time sudo apt upgrade

So it may be a stupid question but what does "time" do in the middle there?

I know that if update is not run often and is on a slow connection, sudo can 
time out before before that second sudo command (so need password again) is 
this a work-around? or a check to insure the password is required
