I used to be a heavy aptitude user in the past, on unstable (i.e. almost daily package upgrades). It does have it quirks. It also shows very clearly what it is about to do before you press the final 'g'. > It may be capable, but imnsho its also dangerous.

Having it exit immediately in the middle of a complex upgrade just because I hit 'q' by mistake is not nice and might leave your system in a very bad state. Once an action has been started it might be possible to interrupt it with Ctrl+C. Please do so at your own risk. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
