Hi all, I am new at Debian and I am kind confused about the Apt, Dselect, and Dpkg programs. Slink was released earlier today and it has: Apt (part 1), the new backend to dselect Apt (part 2), the new commandline I know Apt will soon have a front end (Apt 3 for "Potato") that will replace Dselect but for now does Apt (part 1), the new backend, replaces Dpkg program because Dpkg is also a backend to deselect?
I am really confused about the relation of Apt, Dselect, and Dpkg. If anyone has the time, please write back and tell what is the defferences and relationship between these programs. If this question was asked before, please tell me the date of it and I will look for it. Thanks alot, Tam
