Bug#90886: apt: Default operation should be `install'
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: wishlist
I find myself running `apt-get package' all the time. It would be
nice if the default operation were `install.'
I guess this would be a problem if packages existed that had the
same name as the apt-get commands, although some minimal sanity
checking could be used to ensure that apt-get does the Right Thing.
Alternatively, you could add all the commands to the Conflicts line
;-).
Then again, this example shows that the commands should have begun
with -- in the first place.
Thanks for a cool package system!
