I prefer apt-get and dselect, because they are simply clear. As example, aptitude used the command # aptitude upgrade, but now it is aptitude safe-upgrade; it is absolutely absurd, because the word "safe" can have any meaning except safe! if i use safe-upgrade, it installs buggy packages, then where is the safe-upgrade? Another example is when i use apt-buglist or something similar; aptitude offers me many unclear options, and the most options offered are totally unclear. In short, i am not able to spend my time learning aptitude in detail; i prefer simplicity, "Keep it simple stupid" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
