NAME

nala-update - Update the list of available packages

SYNOPSIS

nala update [--options]

DESCRIPTION

nala will update the list of available packages.

This command is identical to the apt variant, but the output is formatted differently

OPTIONS

Print helpful information for solving issues. If you're submitting a bug report try running the command again with --debug and providing the output to the devs, it may be helpful.
Force nala not to format dpkg output.

This disables all formatting and it would look as if you were using apt.

A more indepth explanation for what this switch does, nala will fork a tty instead of a pty for dpkg.

nala will also not display a progress bar for dpkg with this turned on. Additionally the language of the output will not be forced into English for this mode.

Set options to pass through to apt, nala, or dpkg.
Force dpkg to install new config files without prompting:

nala install --option Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew"

Disable scrolling text for nala

nala install --option Nala::scrolling_text="false"

Allow nala to update unauthenticated repositories:

nala install --option* APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated="true"

Disable scrolling text and print extra information
