It provides the apt-get utility and APT dselect method that provides a simpler, safer way to install and upgrade packages. . APT features complete installation ordering, multiple source capability and several other unique features, see the Users Guide in apt-doc. $ dlocate -s acct Package: acct Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 278 Maintainer: Luis Bustamante <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 6.3.5-38 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1), debconf (>= 1.2.9) Conffiles: /etc/cron.daily/acct 8873a8cf994ebe1c5ec2693a056e4fd7 /etc/cron.monthly/acct c15d1103ffcf37aeaae4a395e30e6b5c /etc/init.d/acct 368902b86e5d1533f9631aeeb521e10c Description: The GNU Accounting utilities for process and login accounting The GNU Accounting utilities `ac', `accton', `last', `lastcomm', and `sa' add login and process accounting support to Debian GNU/Linux. "Login accounting" provides summaries of system resource usage based on connect time, and "process accounting" provides summaries based on the commands executed on the system. The 'last' command is provided by the Debian sysvinit package and not included here. I just don't see how "acct" can be said to be a dependent of "libapt-pkg-libc6", also note that "debfoster -d acct" claims that "acct" depends on "apt", this also seems to me to be incorrect. It seems that "libapt-pkg-libc6" is a virtual package name, perhaps this is related to the above issues.
