How can I set aptitude as my preferred package provider globally? I
can't find any documentation on it, and a google search for "global
preferred package provider" (and variants) doesn't give me anything useful.
Is there any documentation on why apt-get is the default for
debian/ubuntu, when aptitude is installed?
Thanks,
Jayen

I'm trying to push out openoffice 3 from lenny backports to some lenny
machines, but it appears that I have to explicitly list each version of each
package, thereby introducing 'dependency hell.' perhaps puppet could use
aptitude instead of apt-get?
Yes, you can set aptitude as your preferred package provider globally,
or for individual operations.
