The problem here is.. running "apt-get install packagename" will also modify other packages, remove packages, etc as needed.

apt-get upgrade is really the only "safe" measure in apt that only upgrades things that only require other upgrades. Anything else works like a dist-upgrade, which is what I guess -F does NOT do.

But again.. I've never seen a need for this..
