I do not use “the new apt ” anything command. It is purely optional, and you can use apt-cache and apt-get as you are used to. >"apt-get --purge dist-upgrade --auto-remove pkgtoinstall pkgtoremove-" >Could you give me an example of this? assuming that pkgtoinstall and >pkgtoremove are place markers for actual package names? Yes. Something like this: “apt-get --purge dist-upgrade pinentry-curses pinentry-gtk2- xulrunner-17.0-” This means: do a dist-upgrade, but purge pinentry-gtk2 and install pinentry-curses during it (like "first" but better, dependency-wise) and do not even bothering upgrading xulrunner-17.0 since I no longer need it anyway. >and also is the - at the end intentional? (i might be wrong about the >markers, i'm not sure, hence the question) The hyphen-minus at the end means “remove, not install, this package”. It also works like “apt-get install foo bar- baz bla-”. >nb. i sent this directly to you rather than the list because i wasn't sure >if it was offtopic, feel free to mail it back to the list.
