When I run apt upgrade I get the following message from KDE neon:

On KDE neon you should use `pkcon update` to install updates.

If you absolutely must use apt you do have to use dist-upgrade or full-upgrade in place of the upgrade command. [...]

Abort.

So the point is the abort.

Whatever KDE neon likes, I'd still like to use apt. Is there any way to still use it without a full-upgrade?

KDE neon's FAQ page has this:

KDE neon does continuous deployment of the latest KDE software which
means there are nearly always new versions of our software to update
to. We recommend using Plasma Discover's updater which appears in your
panel:

If you prefer to use the command line you can use the pkcon command:

pkcon refresh

pkcon update

This will install all new packages and uses the same PackageKit code
as Plasma Discover. Some uses of apt do not install new packages which
makes it less suitable for KDE neon.

It seems, based on the last sentence in the quoted material, the KDE neon developers believe that apt upgrade isn't suitable. To ensure users don't go that route, the KDE neon developers have somehow disabled apt upgrade. As suggested by the terminal output, you need to use apt full-upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade if you don't want to use pkcon or Discover.

This is still the case after today's update to Plasma 5.16.

If the use of apt upgrade instead of apt full-upgrade is important to you, you can

• 
  file a bug which will probably be closed with a WONTFIX or


• use another distribution such as Kubuntu 19.04 (with the Kubuntu backports ppa) which, more or less, keeps pace with KDE neon's Plasma updates but allows apt upgrade.

I, personally, have no issue with using apt full-upgrade.
