Description
aptitude is a package manager with a number of useful features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible manner, dselect-like persistence of user actions, the ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most packages, and a command-line mode similar to that of apt-get.

aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and housebroken.

This package contains a version of aptitude compiled with only the classic terminal-based interface (using curses). For an experimental graphical interface, see the package aptitude-gtk.
