Over-caution on my part, I think, though there's never any harm in
checking the Release Notes for the correct command, and the man page
for what that does. I had mentioned aptitude in a previous post here,
and that does have incompatible command names, and ISTR side effects
as well, such as cleaning the cache.
Cheers,
