as it has increasingly come up in enterprise support and is generally an
easy foot gun for people coming from other Debian-based distros.

+WARNING: As {pmg} uses a rolling release model on top of Debian, performing an `apt
+upgrade` may result in a partially upgraded or broken package state. This is because
+`apt full-upgrade` can also remove existing packages to satisfy dependencies if needed,
+while `apt upgrade` cannot.
++
NOTE: Always ensure that you correctly set up the
xref:pmg_package_repositories[package repositories], and only continue with the
actual upgrade if `apt update` did not hit any errors.
