OT: while checking my memory on this, I noticed a plaintive question
from 2007 about the "Aptitude Reference Manual" which seemed to be
mentioned in Debian documentation but seemed not to exist. My quick
search indicates that this situation still exists in 2011. The
aptitude man page references 'Aptitude Reference Manual' but I get no
hits for that string while searching www.debian.org, or googling the
general web (other than questions about where to find it, over the years).
apt-cache show aptitude-doc-en
Thanks, but ...
This forces me to ask yet another clueless question: When I install a
documentation package, like this one, where are the documentation
files placed? There is an entry corresponding to the package name in
/usr/share/doc/ but there is seldom any clue there as to where the
docucmentation was placed. Is there a general rule? Is there a
special place where *all* documentation is put? Do I open the .deb and
read the install script? Is there a better way (I hope)? I think I am
missing something that is really basic. Help!
