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
              Shows this man page.
