Thanks. In debian, aptitude is strongly suggested.
Who told you this? Given that aptitude was/is in a fairly
bad state, and only now seems to recover with a new
maintainer team, I don't see how aptitude is strongly
suggested anywhere.
In Debian Reference, it makes a comparison between apt-get / apt-cache
and aptitude. It tells about the advantage of aptitude. For example, it
says '|aptitude| is most suitable for the *daily interactive package
management* such as inspecting installed packages and searching
available packages.'
And, another reason is that in most pages of Debian Reference, it uses
aptitude instead of apt-get / apt-cache.
