apt-get vs. dselect
Hi all. I should maybe spend more time in the archives but just
looking for quick responses.
I assume others running Etch noticed the large amount of updates
today.
When I run
apt-get update;apt-get -u dist-upgrade
I get a similar but different set of changes than if I use 'dselect'.
Just curious about this. For instance, apt-get shows me
245 upgraded, 36 newly installed, 36 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
whereas dselect yields
231 upgraded, 26 newly installed, 49 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
I'm sure there may be as many opinions as colors in the rainbow but
can't help to wonder which is "better".
Thanks,
Paul
