<bask> especially comments like that </bask> i can't wait for doogie/adam to develop a real interface for it! $ apt-cache show aptitude Package: aptitude Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 454 Maintainer: Adam Heath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 0.0.4a-4.1 Depends: libapt-pkg2.7, libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libncurses5, libstdc++2.10 Architecture: i386 Size: 148126 MD5sum: 37e466011a34cd98b6b843f81ed36d78 Filename: dists/potato/main/binary-i386/admin/aptitude_0.0.4a-4.1.deb Description: Console based apt frontend APTITUDE is the tentative name for a new curses-based frontend to apt. Currently this is just a prototype of a lot of differe apt-related UI elements and actions; there is no central cohesion. Despite this, I still find it to be exciting enough to pursue. Yes, my friends think I'm a strange person too :) and luckily, there's an aptitude for potato! (hope it gets some updates before moving on to the woody-only release...) -- self-reference, n: see self-reference. [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** http://www.dontUthink.com/
