"blindly" doing full-upgrade is not always the best idea
from man apt
Quote:
upgrade (apt-get(8))
upgrade is used to install available upgrades of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources
configured via sources.list(5). New packages will be installed if required to satisfy dependencies, but existing packages
will never be removed. If an upgrade for a package requires the removal of an installed package the upgrade for this
package isn't performed.
full-upgrade (apt-get(8))
full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove currently installed packages if this is needed to upgrade
the system as a whole.

most of the time it is fine, but it could result in something unexpected.
best to
Code:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
note the end status report about the "not upgraded"
and review what is still outstanding ( if any ) with
Code:
apt list --upgradable
or you could go straight to
Code:
sudo apt full-upgrade
breaking it down like this means you are more informed about what is going on.
but as I said, most of the time it doesn't matter
