NAME

nala-update - Update the list of available packages

SYNOPSIS

nala update [--options]

DESCRIPTION

nala will update the list of available packages.

This command is identical to the apt variant, but the output is formatted differently

OPTIONS

--debug

Print helpful information for solving issues. If you're submitting a bug report try running the command again with --debug and providing the output to the devs, it may be helpful.

--raw-dpkg

Force nala not to format dpkg output.

This disables all formatting and it would look as if you were using apt.

A more indepth explanation for what this switch does, nala will fork a tty instead of a pty for dpkg.

nala will also not display a progress bar for dpkg with this turned on. Additionally the language of the output will not be forced into English for this mode.

-o, --option

Set options to pass through to apt, nala, or dpkg.
Example:

Force dpkg to install new config files without prompting:

nala install --option Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew"

Disable scrolling text for nala

nala install --option Nala::scrolling_text="false"

Allow nala to update unauthenticated repositories:

nala install --option* APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated="true"

-v, --verbose

Disable scrolling text and print extra information

-h, --help
