Am 07. Mai, 2014 schwätzte Charles Blair so:

moin moin Charles,

all of the apt tools, including aptitude, depend on what sources you have
added.

man sources.list

There are certainly good web pages as well, but the manpage has an example
that includes contrib and non-free.

ciao,

der.hans

  I'm sorry, I don't see anything in the documentation about this.

  If aptitude cannot be used, what am I supposed to do?
