Mixing apt-get and aptitude is not a problem anymore.
I believe that this is not complelely true. What is true is that, on the command line, in interactive mode, you can use either and it will work fine. But the options you can pass to aptitude and apt-get are not the same. Back to the specific question of cron-apt, I tried it myself (replacing "apt-get" with "aptitude" in its config) to notify me by email of pending upgrades, and it was useless. I had to remove it. Had I left apt-get in its config, it probably would have worked. I could probably dig out or try to reproduce some of the error msgs I got, but far more helpful for the list would be if someone who ever managed cron-apt with aptitude (if such a person exists) would post here how they did it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkvAqisACgkQ+VSRxYk4408RlQCgivHltFne3WaGR109u648Mdx/ a28AnilCApaoy2XdmdiKT1iHXwDA1ABG =oqmY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
