   (DEPRECATED)   sbuild-distupgrade  [-h|--help]  [-V|--version]  CHROOT1
   [CHROOT2 [CHROOTn...]]

DESCRIPTION

   sbuild-update  runs  apt-get  inside  the  specified  chroot performing
   update, upgrade,  dist-upgrade,  clean,  autoclean,  and/or  autoremove
   depending on the options specified on the command line.

   sbuild-upgrade,  sbuild-distupgrade,  and sbuild-clean, are deprecated.
   They  now  simply  run  sbuild-update  with  the  appropriate   options
   (--upgrade  or  --dist-upgrade for sbuild-upgrade or sbuild-distupgrade
   respectively) along with whatever arguments were passed in the scripts.

OPTIONS

   Actions
   -h, --help
          Display this manual.

   -V, --version
          Print version information.

   --arch=architecture
          Update chroot for the architecture specified.

   -u, --update
          Perform an apt-get update.

   -g, --upgrade
          Perform an apt-get upgrade.

   -d, --dist-upgrade
          Perform an apt-get dist-upgrade.

   -c, --clean
          Perform an apt-get clean.

   -a, --autoclean
          Perform an apt-get autoclean.

   -r, --autoremove
          Perform an apt-get autoremove.

   -k, --keygen
          Generate a GPG public/private key pair  for  self-signing  local
          apt  archives,  used  for  installation  of dependency packages.
          Note  that  this  requires  a  significant  amount  of   entropy
          (randomness)  and may hang on systems with poor entropy sources,
          such as headless systems without direct  user  input.   In  this
          situation,  it is advisable to create the key on a trusted local
          system, and copy the files to the  build  system  by  hand  from
          /var/lib/sbuild/apt-keys/.

   Chroot selection
   CHROOT The  chroot to use.  Note that ‘o’, ‘s’, ‘t’, ‘u’ and ‘e’ may be
          used as  abbreviations  for  ‘oldstable’,  ‘stable’,  ‘testing’,
          ‘unstable’ and ‘experimental’, respectively.

EXAMPLES

   To update the unstable chroot:

   % sbuild-update --update unstable

   To upgrade the unstable chroot:

   % sbuild-update --upgrade unstable

   To clean the unstable chroot:

   % sbuild-update --clean unstable

   To  perform  an  update, dist-upgrade, clean, autoclean, and autoremove
   for the unstable chroot:

   % sbuild-update -udcar unstable
