Hello all, After my first 'apt-get update', I wanted to see a list of what was newly available to install or upgrade. 'man apt-get' left me no wiser as to whether there is a way to do this with apt-get. What I ended up doing was guessing as to a package name, and doing 'apt-get -s install foo' to see if it existed. Is there a better way? Or do you generally use something like gnome-apt or dselect to do this?
Also, is there a way to find out what packages depend/suggest/recommend with apt-get? Or a description of a package? I guess what I'm getting at is, can I do everything just with apt-get, or do you need to use something else for this kind of stuff. I _love_ apt-get! =wl -- Albert ``Willy'' Lee, Emacs user, game programmer "They call me CRAZY - just because I DARE to DREAM of a RACE of SUPERHUMAN MONSTERS!"
