No, and it's called apt now. It's at (last look) 0.0.5 and is not functional yet in and of itself. It adds the "apt method" to dselect, which is currently http and file only. It's quite good and makes dselect suck much less. The package installation is smart and efficient and time saved installing downloaded packages over dselect's normal ftp method more than makes up for the time lost using http in place of ftp. > Also what about StarOffice being in the next release?
