- Description: Advanced front-end for dpkg
- 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.
+ Description: APT's commandline package manager
+ This package provides commandline tools for searching and
+ managing as well as querying information about packages
+ as a low-level access to all features of the libapt-pkg library.
.
- APT features complete installation ordering, multiple source capability
- and several other unique features, see the Users Guide in apt-doc.
+ These include:
- * apt-get for retrieval of packages and information about them
- from authenticated sources and for installation, upgrade and
- removal of packages together with their dependencies
- * apt-cache for querying available information about installed
- as well as installable packages
- * apt-cdrom to use removable media as a source for packages
- * apt-config as an interface to the configuration settings
- * apt-key as an interface to manage authentication keys

+ Description: APT's package managment runtime library
+ This library provides the common functionality for searching and

+ Higher-level package managers can depend upon this library.
+ .
+ This includes:
- * retrieval of information about packages from multiple sources
- * retrieval of packages and all dependent packages
- needed to satisfy a request either through an internal
- solver or by interfacing with an external one
- * authenticating the sources and validating the retrieved data
- * installation and removal of packages in the system
- * providing different transports to retrieve data over cdrom, ftp,
- http, rsh as well as an interface to add more transports like
- https (apt-transport-https) and debtorrent (apt-transport-debtorrent).
