+ <para>A specific version of a package can be selected for installation by

+ <para>
+ The &apt; commandline is designed as a end-user tool and it may
+ change the output between versions. While it tries to not break

+ All features of &apt; are available in &apt-cache; and &apt-get;
+ via APT options. Please prefer using these commands in your scripts.

+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>The option <literal>DPkgPM::Progress-Fancy</literal> is enabled.

+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>A new <literal>list</literal> command is available
