How to know what packages may be upgraded

apt-show-versions is a program that shows what packages in the system may be updated and several useful information.

The -u option displays a list of upgradeable packages:

# apt-show-versions -u

APT mantém uma cópia de cada arquivo .deb baixado no diretório /var/cache/apt/archives/. Caso haja atualizações frequentes, este diretório pode rapidamente ocupar um grande espaço em disco com várias versões de cada pacote; você deve regularmente passear por eles. Dois comandos podem ser usados: apt-get clean esvazia completamente o diretório; apt-get autoclean remove apenas os pacotes que não podem mais ser baixados
