aptitude !aptitude !Posted Nov 9, 2007 15:35 UTC (Fri) by spotter (subscriber, #12199)In reply to: aptitude ! by xav Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's guide to (some) development distributions
I've been using aptitude on ubuntu since warty. Have upgraded my machine from warty to hardy (yes, laptop runs hardy) via aptitude since then. While I've had issues following ubuntu development, its usually quickly fixable by jumping into IRC for a few minutes as I'm usually not the only to have the problem.

aptitude ! Posted Nov 9, 2007 15:49 UTC (Fri) by xav (guest, #18536) [Link] I've had some problems at distribution upgrade (from 6.10 to 7.04 IIRC) with aptitude, and have been told that those upgrades *have* to be made with the upgrade_manager, because it does more things than simply upgrade. Effectively, on another laptop using the recommended tool the upgrade process did a big cleaning of some packages and installed some more. Sorry, I can't remember which ones.
