I am apprehensive about that GTK interface. It doesn't look ready to me.
Mine comes up with a terminal spouting lines like
libglade-WARNING **: could not look up stock id '_Forget New Packages'
for all the menu items.
Inevitably the window freezes and stops redrawing on some function and I
have to "killall aptitude". Last time it was when I tried to open a
"dependencies" tab within a package info dialog. It froze on "parsing
changelog." I haven't completed a session with aptitude GTK since it was
only available in experimental.
It is a great looking thing: the info access of Synaptic, the functions of
Aptitude.
I'll hang on to aptitude-curses out of familiarity for a year or more
anyway.
I am perfectly happy with aptitude-curses, and apt-get/aptitude at the
command line.
