I'm learning the CLI interface of Advanced Packaging Tool. From the output of apt(8) when its stdout isn't a terminal, it isn't suitable for "scripts expecting stable programming interface", so I'm taking a look at apt-get(8).

One difference between apt update and apt-get update is that the latter is missing a final line after all cache has been updated:

8 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

I want to know how I can get this exact line displayed with apt-get(8).

man apt-get shows:

   -s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act

       No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur based on

       the current system state but do not actually change the system.

       Locking will be disabled (Debug::NoLocking) so the system state

       could change while apt-get is running. Simulations can also be

       executed by non-root users which might not have read access to all

       apt configuration distorting the simulation. A notice expressing

       this warning is also shown by default for non-root users

       (APT::Get::Show-User-Simulation-Note). Configuration Item:

       APT::Get::Simulate.

So if you just do:

apt-get upgrade --dry-run

it will output:

...

4 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.

  Yeah, I went through man 8 apt-get and found that option, but the output was different from apt.

  Different how? I just checked on my system and it's identical. I thought it was identical because apt is really a programmatic wrapper around apt-get and that's the reason why the warning exists.

  Yes, that's because you have 8 to upgrade where I have 4. Or are you referring to the text being different?
