Hi,
The patch attached makes m-a use of aptitude instead of apt-get as an
option, so you can call "module-assistant --aptitude" and
module-assistant will use your favorite APT tool :-) It doesn't
detect aptitude automatically as Filippo suggested. I think that
should be handled in a configuration file as a lot of other things
suggested in #341981
Regards,
Javi
