Ubuntu Utopic has recently introduced a new package management frontend named apt
(manpage) which provides a sort of high-level interface to tools apt-get
, apt-cache
and some other tools in the apt-*
family.
Similar to this question about apt-get
vs. aptitude
, I am curious if apt
is a real replacement for aptitude
or if there are use cases that require aptitude
?
As of 16.04, Xenial, installation command suggestions have changed from apt-get install notinstalledpackage
to apt install
.
