As shown in the script there are many "gets" but when I do an "Upgrade" nothing is downloaded, Installed. Why is this?

Reading package lists... Done

And doing the Upgrade results in this,,,,

$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Again why was nothing upgraded?

Thanks

Because *THERE WAS NOTHING TO UPGRADE*. The update refreshes the package list...if there's nothing new then there will be nothing to upgrade. Lots of information on this you can find with an Internet search. The gets/upgrades/ign/hits were explained to you in one of your previous posts; did you read it?

You seem to have lots of issues with updating and the concepts, although you've been working with it for a good while now.
