I am using aptitude only as commandline-tool anyway. I don't like these "scroll with the cursor through text-columns made of - | \ / -characters"-interfaces. However, I have a problem with aptitudes default values. Many things default to settings that I would consider useful exactly the other way around... (i.e.: Suggestions = Dependecies until you swith that of. "search" searches only in package names, until you read the docs... Grrr! Maybe calling apt "deprecated" was to wrong word, since english is not my native language. What I wanted to say: The installation-docs for sarge clearly say something like "Don't use apt-get anymore. It is not good in resolving dependencies. From now on switch to aptitude." I've posted the link with the exact words somewhere in this thread. However, I did not find a sentence anywhere that said "apt-get will be removed with etch".
