So it isn't super cow powers, but at least it has some super powers.

When you do apt-get --help, at the bottom you are told:

"This APT has Super Cow Powers."

But aptitude says:

"This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers."

I thought that was a cute little way of saying that apt-get was "more
advanced," and thus would be preferable.  This:
http://www.eeggs.com/items/36008.html supports the "more advanced" theory, in
that apt-get can do dist-upgrades.  Can aptitude as well?  Even if it is geek
humor, why does one have super cow powers and not the other?


try "apt-get moo"
then "aptitude moo"
then "aptitude moo -v"
then "aptitude moo -vv"
and so on

Cheers
Kelly

Sorry, but read the archives.  Look for a thread about aptitude and
Super Cow Powers.  It wasn't more than a week or two ago (maybe 3 ...).
