As far as I know, it is also the most complete and advanced package manager Debian has. Make no mistake: aptitude is the Debian package manager you should be using if you can deal with text mode and the command line. My experiences with aptitude on dist-upgrades are not that great. Actually, they are pretty bad. On the other hand, on day to day usage, aptitude is fine as tool to browse your installed packages, getting rid of unused packages etc. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
