Check my blog post on the many reasons to use aptitude over apt: http://pthree.org/2007/08/12/aptitude-vs-apt-get/ Debian also mentions to use aptitude over apt: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-pkgtools.en.html#s-aptitude To answer your question directly though, both apt and aptitude rely on dpkg for the installation and removal of packages. So, no worries. -- . O . O . O . . O O . . . O . . . O . O O O . O . O O . . O O O O . O . . O O O O . O O O
