Re: Debian Package Manager "Worthless Junk"???

Main Debian package manager (dpkg) is very similar to rpm, they both can
install and uninstall packages, etc. What they were talking about is probably
"dselect" - front-end to dpkg which lists all the packages and let you select
which packages you want to install, uninstall, upgrade, etc. and then download
and install/uninstall/upgrade everything automatically.
The main problem of dselect is that user intrerface is a bit non-intuitive
and with 1400 packages in archive - a little messy. It does a good job, though.
