User should be able to trust apt-get. Is there a bug report for the
issues with apt-get?
BTW at least newer releases have command apt in package apt. Is that
powerful enough?

aptitude has a more powerful dependency resolver, if for any reason apt-
get can't figure out what to do, then it will fallback to aptitude. This
will happen if the revert list sent to apt-get is not 100% correct and
complete.
I am not sure if the fallback ever happens now, it certainly shouldnt o
Even in case of comment #2, aptitude is not needed to purge packages at
least in Ubuntu 14.04, when using ppa-purge - 0.2.8+bzr63. Consequently,
I think aptitude is not needed as an alternative in the script. ppa-
purge (0.2.8+bzr63) still seems to have aptitude potentially used e.g.
in case `apt-g

Chris, In theory no, the fixes from bug #892886 and bug #831768, should
be enough to get things working properly.
However I do believe xorg-edgers still failed to purge properly without
this fix. (However that was on Quantal where both the above bugs are
fixed)

I've rejected this from the precise-proposed queue; the upload also
claims to fix bug #831768, which isn't a ppa-purge bug.
Once bug #831768 is fixed is there any further reason to SRU the change
to use apt-get rather than aptitude? That seems like an unnecessary
change.

Brian, for the Aptitude version in 12.04, the dependency resolver is
completely broken for multi-arch systems (this is fixed in 12.10
aptitude). As a consequence ppa-purge is completely broken on 12.04.
anyway I will ping sarvatt again and try get this merged into raring

This bug is not acceptable for including as a Stable Release Update in
12.04 as it has not been fixed in the development release of Ubuntu.
Additionally, this change has not made it into 12.10 so we'd have ppa-
purge using aptitude in that release still. I mean would move from
using apt-get (12.04

The reason aptitude is also used is because apt-get can not handle a
package existing in the PPA that does not exist in the archive (sudo
apt-get install libglapi-mesa/natty for example, libglapi-mesa only
existing in ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa at the moment) so it falls back to using
aptitude that will w
