none (afaik), except that pre-invoke and post-invoke commands in /etc/apt/apt.conf are run when you use apt. this is useful if you keep /usr mounted readonly and have pre/post invoke commands to mount it read-write when needed and back to read-only when done. if /usr is read-only dpkg --purge or dpkg -r will fail, but apt-get remove or apt-get --purge remove will succeed. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
