Description
sbuild-update runs apt-get inside the specified chroot performing update, upgrade, dist-upgrade, clean,
autoclean, and/or autoremove depending on the options specified on the command line.
sbuild-upgrade, sbuild-distupgrade, and sbuild-clean, are deprecated. They now simply run sbuild-update
with the appropriate options (--upgrade or --dist-upgrade for sbuild-upgrade or sbuild-distupgrade
respectively) along with whatever arguments were passed in the scripts.

Chrootselection--chroot-mode=schroot|sudo
The sbuild chroot backend of the chroot to update. The autopkgtest backend is not supported by
this method because autopkgtest backends are always ephemeral and changes never persist. To
update a chroot for schroot and sudo, sbuild-update must be executed with superuser privileges
(for example by using sudo). If you are using the unshare mode, sbuild-update is without function
- instead, recreate the tarball from scratch or let sbuild manage them for you. Defaults to
'schroot'.
CHROOT The chroot to use. Note that ‘o’, ‘s’, ‘t’, ‘u’ and ‘e’ may be used as abbreviations for
‘oldstable’, ‘stable’, ‘testing’, ‘unstable’ and ‘experimental’, respectively.
