want cron-apt to full-upgrade but only updates


hi

yes i am aware that full-upgrade can break the system -- its not a critical machine at all and i never remember to upgrade it (if something goes wrong im fine with wiping it and reinstalling from scratch etc)

anyway, as far as i can tell /etc/cron-apt/config doesnt specify what actions to take, the actions come from /etc/cron-apt/action.d, so i have /etc/cron-apt/action.d/3-download and i changed it to say

autoclean -y
dist-upgrade -y

but all it does is update (i am keeping the default /etc/cron-apt/action.d/0-update)

what's wrong? do i have to change something in /etc/cron-apt/config?

gong
