    How To of the Week: aptitude


    commands -

    aptitude update - This command updates the package lists

    aptitude safe-upgrade - This command will upgrade as many packages as it can upgrade without removing existing packages.

    aptitude full-upgrade - this command will attempt to upgrade packages, but it is more aggressive about solving dependency problems: it will install and remove packages until all dependencies are satisfied. Because of the nature of this command, it is possible that it will do undesirable things, and so you should be careful when using it.

    aptitude install package-name – installs the package

    aptitude remove package-name – removes the package

    aptitude purge package-name – Purging a package removes the package, as well as all its configuration files.

    aptitude search pattern – searches for the package
