Description: alternative front-end for dpkg -- console interface
This package provides a console interface to Cupt library, which is a
re-implementation of libapt-pkg C++ library using Perl. The aim is to
produce more strict, more robust, less buggy front-end than APT.
.
Cupt uses the same APT infrastructure, e.g. index files, deb cache
archive files, configuration files. It understands some of widely used APT
options.
.
Some features:
- strict full-case resolver;
- command-line and APT-like option name checker;
- case-sensitive search;
- pinning by source package name;
- pinning by package groups using shell-like patterns;
- configurable 'depends' and 'rdepends' subcommands;
- 'satisfy' subcommand.
.
Its interface is mostly like apt-get/aptitude console interface.
