Re-bonjour

Si la supériorité d'aptitude sur apt-get ne fait aucun doute pour Debian stable 
et Ubuntu, le premier semble plus indiqué pour Sid, en "rolling-release". Cf. 
le manuel d'aptosid (ex sidux... fort sympathique distro) à 
http://manual.aptosid.com/en/sys-admin-apt-en.htm


"The Reasons NOT to use anything else but apt-get for a dist-upgrade

Package managers like adept, aptitude, synaptic and kpackage are not always 
able to account for the huge amount of changes which happen in Sid (depedency 
changes, name changes, maintainer script changes, ...).

This is not the fault of the developers of those tools though, they write a 
excellent tools and fabulous for the debian stable branch, they are simply just 
not suitable for the very special needs of Debian Sid.

Use whatever you like to search for packages, but stick with apt-get for 
actually installing/removing/dist-upgrading.

Package managers like adept, aptitude, synaptic and kpackage are at the least, 
non-deterministic (for complex package selection), mix that with a quickly 
moving target like sid and even worse an external repository of questionable 
quality (we don't use or recommend those, but they're a reality on your user 
systems) and you will be courting disaster.

The other item to note is that all of these types of GUI package managers need 
to run in init 5, and/or, in X, and in doing a dist-upgrade in init 5 and/or X 
, (or even an 'upgrade' which is not recommended), you will end up damaging up 
your system beyond repair, maybe not today or tomorrow, however in time you 
will.

apt-get on the other hand strictly does what it is asked to do, if there is any 
breakage you can pinpoint and debug/ fix the cause, if apt-get wants to remove 
half of the system (due to library transitions) it's the admin's call (that 
means you) to have at least a serious look.

This is the reason why debian builds use apt-get, not the other package manager 
tools."
