Description: alternative front-end for dpkg -- console interface

 This package provides a console interface to Cupt library, which is a
 re-implementation of libapt-pkg C++ library using Perl. The aim is to
 produce more strict, more robust, less buggy front-end than APT.
 .
 Cupt uses the same APT infrastructure, e.g. index files, deb cache
 archive files, configuration files. It understands some of widely used APT
 options.
 .
 Some features:
  - strict full-case resolver;
  - command-line and APT-like option name checker;
  - case-sensitive search;
  - pinning by source package name;
  - pinning by package groups using shell-like patterns;
  - configurable 'depends' and 'rdepends' subcommands;
  - 'satisfy' subcommand.
 .
 Its interface is mostly like apt-get/aptitude console interface.
