Re: aptitude upgrade vs. apt-get upgrade

[Juan Lavieri <jlavieri@gmail.com>]

Hola.

Por favor disculpen el top-posting pero el resto está en inglés.

José Gregorio, Kete ya te indicó lo que dice en las FAQ y si seguimos el 
hilo en la lista debian-security notaremos que lo que llevó a esta duda 
fue un asunto relacionado con repositorios incompletos, de todos modos 
creo que ya se aclaró el punto así que prevalece lo que dice en las 
FAQ's y en las release notes desde hace algún tiempo a saber: "aptitude 
is the preferred program for daily package management from console."  O 
sea, oficialmente aptitude seguirá siendo promovido por los 
desarrolladores como el manejador de paquetes preferido desde consola.

Saludos.
