- apt-get [dist-]upgrade don't take packages
Comments:
- apt-cache search pattern
Does your intended audience know what you mean by 'pattern'?
- apt-cache rdepends
Same. I think usual dependencies are sort of intuitive enough to
understand, but I'm not so sure about rdepends.
- Is apt-file installed by default? If not, a pointer to the package to
install would be helpful. (Same for other non-standard commands.)
- deborphan
As for apt-cache rdepends: To understand what an orphan is, a quite
good understanding of package dependencies is needed.
- what's the different between poweroff and halt? They're probably not
both necessary.
- postgresql: point to pg_hba.conf, and perhaps add how to change
password for a user.
- man: '... every command and many configuration files have a manpage.'
- mailing lists: perhaps point directly to the user list?
Layout: Currently, many of the commands are wrapped, which makes them
IMHO hard to read. Instead of
apt-cache policy Show versions and
package-names priorities...
I'd find it much better if it were
apt-cache policy package-names: Show versions
and priorities...
(Something like an itemized list instead of a table). This would
probably safe some space, too.
Of course, this is entirely a matter of taste.
