I find this whole thing chillingly unsecure.
I agree. I feel a little more secure with it launching the Software
Center where I can see what it is I'm installing and decide to go
through with it or not.
I can't say that I disagree without digging into the code and looking at
wireshark. But I reckon if there were/are any serious security issues:
1) Ubuntu probablyly wouldn't allow it in their repositories:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=apturl
and 2) such issue would show up on:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apturl/+bugs
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/apturl.html
As for the "Software Center"... I prefer a terminal or synaptic. Anyway,
I suppose & it's not mine to judge: I just provided you with the
information you requested. It's up to you to determine if you want to
use it.
I appreciate the information. I guess years of being a Windoze user has
made me rather paranoid...
