Ubuntu - aptitude - Advantages using aptitude instead of apt-get
apt-get is a command-line package handling utility while aptitude is a high-level interface to the package manager.
There is not much difference between the two except aptitude will remove unused package dependencies automatically whereas with apt-get you have to do it manually.
Neither removes dependencies as that would cause problems.
- Dependencies are packages that are depended on by other packages.
- Do not remove them!
NOTE: To remove unused packages with apt-get use:
sudo apt-get autoremove
- With aptitude there is nothing to do as it’s automatic.
