I've recently started using aptitude from the console instead of apt-get
for package management on my Woody systems. I find some of the
features, like the ability to do a "--with-suggests", quite useful. It
seems like Aptitude does a better job of handling dependencies as well.
Are there any pitfalls when using Aptitude to manage a system? For
example, running
aptitude update && aptitude upgrade
instead of
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
Is Aptitude being pushed as the replacement for dselect, or perhaps as
an eventual replacement for apt-get?
Thanks for any thoughts.
