Hello, There is a discussion on http://wiki.debian.org/SystemPrinting
http://wiki.debian.org/SystemPrinting/Discussion that goes like this: Note that Aptitude is now the default package manager for Etch. Of course AptGet is not deprecated, just we recommand using Aptitude. Thanks for your contributions. Best regards. -- SalokineTerata 2008-03-08 21:32:16 Is there a replacement for statement like: apt-cache policy samba -- LukaszSzybalski 2008-03-17 20:15:45 I don't think we should recommend using aptitude : Under aptitude, package(s) can be under "installation pending" state (especially after apt***** update)... When we instruct someone to install a package, we don't want the pending installation to occur at that time. -- FranklinPiat 2008-03-17 23:34:17 ---- Is it safe to recommend using aptitude in online documentation? Is there a replacement for apt-cache policy samba in aptitude version? What about instalation pending state under aptitude ?
