This stands out for a start! (from a quick glance.): "dpkg - kind of the predecessor to apt, but is still used for some functions" hint - dpkg is *always*¹ used to install a package. Also, only diehard masochists use dselect :) There is no mention of aptitude (the info is old.) ¹ There *may* be other esoteric ways, but then you would not be reading that site if you knew about them. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
