Little-known APT utilities for Debian desktop users (Linux.com)
Linux.com looks
at APT. "The Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) is a distinguishing
feature of Debian-based systems. APT was the first major alternative in
GNU/Linux to boast automatic dependency resolution. Most GNU/Linux users
know it through the apt-get command, a utility that calls on the
lower-level dpkg command. However, other APT-based utilities remain largely
unknown to desktop users. Some of these utilities offer a range of
functionality far beyond those of the basic tools."
