Description: terminal-based package manager (terminal interface only)
aptitude is a package manager with a number of useful features, including: a
mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible manner, dselect-like
persistence of user
actions, the ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most
packages, and a command-line mode similar to that of apt-get.
aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and
housebroken.
This package contains a version of aptitude compiled with only the classic
terminal-based interface (using curses). For an experimental graphical
interface, see the
package aptitude-gtk.
