Re: control apt-get selection for packages having multiple virtual package alternatives

["Boyd Stephen Smith Jr." <bss@iguanasuicide.net>]

Using aptitude is preferred to using apt-get for most purposes.

In this case, aptitude's curses (or even GTK!) interface might be the best way 
to select which real package you want to satisfy a virtual package dependency.
