Ubuntu - aptitude
aptitude is a text-based interface to the package system.
It allows the user to view the list of packages and to perform package management tasks such as installing, upgrading, and removing packages.
- Actions may be performed from a visual interface or from the command-line.
aptitude is a great alternative to apt-get and the best way to install, remove, upgrade, and otherwise administer packages on you system with apt.
- aptitude solves orphaned dependencies and has a curses interface that blows the doors off of dselect.
NOTE: aptitude uses many of the same commands as apt-get.
- It is not a good idea to use both.
- Use either aptitude or apt-get exclusively, or dependencies might get confused.
