Package: apt Version: 0.7.6 Severity: normal The packages descriptions are unclear, particularly about what apt contains. The short description is "Advanced front-end for dpkg".
The extended description contains This is Debian's next generation front-end for the dpkg package manager. It provides the apt-get utility and APT dselect method that provides a simpler, safer way to install and upgrade packages. This is OK for apt-get and other programs, but there is no mention of libapt. Nothing indicates that APT is also a back-end for APT front-ends such as aptitude and Synaptic. This is rather confusing, because the primary role of apt is and should become more and more to be a back-end for GUI package managers and other more refined console tools. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
