If you just run "apt-get update" alone, it's not going to actually install anything, to the best of my knowledge.
Perhaps you are right. I've never really used apt before, so I'm a bit rusty. Why couldn't you just do apt-get upgrade ?
update updates the package list from the apt-repository without actually upgrading any software, upgrade will upgrade out-of-date packages. You do need both. Contrary to yum where `yum update` is synonymous with `apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade`.
