The original method used apt list --upgradable which included packages held back due to phasing while simulated apt-get upgrade works as non-root and lists what packages would actually install.

This should be validated by more users who may have other Ubuntu/Debian/apt-based Linux variants to make sure it is stable before merging. This was tested on Kubuntu 25.10.

This is expected to fix #234

Thank you for this PR.
