Bug#243317: "apt-get build-dep ..." to start aptitude instead
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.24
Severity: wishlist
apt-get can be substituted mostly by aptitudes recently and it has
advantage of automatic dependency tracking and --with(out)-recommends
type of options.
But source package side is weak. Is there any way to invoke aptitudes
for build-dep. Some option such as
apt-get build-dep --use-aptitude "--with-recommends --without-suggests"\
<source-package-name>
is nice to have. (Currently alternative "-r -G" does not work on
aptitude but that is separate issue.)
Versions of packages apt depends on:
ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an
ii libgcc1 1:3.3.3-6 GCC support library
ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.3-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3
