Hi, Tim.

Over the years, I've found that "aptitude" has got me out of more holes
than it has got me into ;-)

In particular, I use "aptitude -f" to check APT database consistency.

I agree it doesn't make a lot of difference how you install packages
manually, but my experience is that "apt-get" or "dpkg" both allow some
odd package installations that leave the APT database inconsistent...

I'm not quite sure why they removed it from Ubuntu: It was probably
removed along with "synaptic" to encourage people to use the Canonical
'App' store to install packages instead!

Bye,

  Tony.
