Is this recent (i.e. Stretch?) Over-caution on my part, I think, though there's never any harm in checking the Release Notes for the correct command, and the man page for what that does. I had mentioned aptitude in a previous post here, and that does have incompatible command names, and ISTR side effects as well, such as cleaning the cache. Cheers, David.
