In Debian/Ubuntu based distributions, IIRC, there are two commands required to properly update the distribution “sudo aot update” which updates the local repository storage data, and “sudo apt upgrade” which actually updates the system. An easy way to get this job done in the terminal is to create an ‘alias’, stored in your user’s .bashrc file (alias update=’sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade’). After saving your changes, you can open a new terminal window to run your new alias. Simply enter “update” (no quotes) at the command prompt. This is one alias I create on every distribution I use to make updating the system as easy as possible. I hope it helps you,
