this bothers me, since I mostly use aptitude. When I need a build-dep
or source, I'm concerned that later aptitude may wipe something
inadvertantly. Do you know if there are plans to implement these
commands into aptitude? Or will apt-get always remain, so that its not
a problem?
aptitude shouldn't wipe out packages installed with apt-get, period
full stop.
you know, that wasn't fair of me. I was once concerned about that
problem, but have subsequently learned that it really doesn't
happen. So i apologise if that came across wrong.
No, I just come down hard on this meme because it seems to have taken
on a life of its own and I'd like to squash it before it grows up into a
full-blown urban legend.
