I have been using aptitude since forever. Today, however, I needed to search through installed packages and remembered just how unintuitive the syntax is!
A few articles deep I learnt that good old apt-get has a new API through apt and it appears to be designed for clarity and ease of use. Should I switch?
Which tool do you use? If there is a specific reason besides habit I would be very curious to hear it!

@ferret If you have `aptitude` installed, you can search on the command line with
aptitude search "?installed ?depends(chromium|firefox|www-browser)"
aptitude search "?installed ?recommends(chromium|firefox|www-browser)"(It can be done in one command, but the combination of "and"s and "or"s makes it awkward)
Or you can use the #aptitude TUI (run `aptitude` without options) to browse the dependency trees. `?` for help, `q` to quit.

I was tired of not being able to install with apt the apps I would build, so I created a #rustlang app that makes a virtual apt repository over #github releases.
It's not fresh yet, but it works. I can update the app itself, using apt. It works also for #opentelemetrycollector.
Next step, handling signatures and improving configuration and performance. -
Dear https://zoom.us, I appreciate you having a #Zoom client package that works on #Linux, that's mighty nice of you as I need that software to run for me and I appreciate it being native in my chosen OS. However, if you're gonna update the software really, really, really often (like you're doing these days) could you just take that one extra step and stop making me manually download and install a .deb file for every update? You can choose from multiple other options, like a #Flatpack, or an #Aptitude compatible solution.
Not to be ungrateful, but, well, seriously...

From @AssociatedPress: "Trump said Wednesday that he will impose a 100% #tariff on #ComputerChips, likely raising the #cost of electronics, autos, household appliances and other goods deemed essential for the digital age. https://tinyurl.com/2h7e7y77
1. #Trump has no #aptitude regarding #finances and the #economy. 2. He has #dementia.

@ReadingFaithfully_org Curious about two things, if you happen to know:
1. Whether there's a similar or contrasting #simile based on #aptitude, #skill, or #talent rather than #position, #commitment, or #faith.
2. Whether there's a similar or contrasting #simile dealing with which qualities to cultivate within oneself. Maybe something to the effect of "When X is already well-developed, cultivate X still further; when Y is (already) well-developed, cultivate X first or together with Y, &c."? -

"Je crois que nous avons perdu notre #aptitude à #compatir. Peut-être est-ce lié à cette ère de l' #information. Nous voyons la détresse des réfugiés aux actualités tous les jours, nous savons donc pertinemment ce qui se passe. Mais, en même #temps, les images nous anesthésient. La détresse nous semble si grande que nous pensons ne rien pouvoir faire."

@mkj @Starcross I find #aptitude works best for me to selectively upgrade/hold various groups of packages together

Do you want to install something, but forgot if it's 'install', '--install', '-S', 'add' or 'update'?
Packager is a small script that detects which package managers you have, and rewrites your command.

Supported:
• #apt, #aptitude — #debian
• #npm, #yarn — #js
• #pacman, #yay — #archlinux
• #pip — #python
• #raco — #racket
• #sdkman — #java -
What is the easiest way to find out why #package updates are held back on #debian #testing? #apt #apt-get and #aptitude show different results when trying to upgrade...of course its my fault, but in order to fix the issue and be sure my device can properly reboot, I want to fix any dependency issue.

On a #Debian machine [0], packages are all currently installed correctly and working.
But #APT and #dpkg data has been lost; all of '/var/lib/apt/', '/var/lib/dpkg/', '/var/lib/aptitude/', '/var/cache/apt/' have been deleted.
This means that every actually-installed package is, as far as #Aptitude is concerned, not installed.
How can I get APT (and Aptitude) to re-populate its database so the status is correct for every one?
[0]: Debian "trixie" (current "testing"), if it matters.

Hatte gestern die Idee, heute 'ne längere Radtour zu machen. Konnte mich gestern aber endlich dazu aufraffen meinen Raspi 2 mit #Debian Sid zu flicken, damit ich mir das nicht mehr ganz neue #Xymon 4.4α1 mit #IPv6 und #TLS und 'n RC-Bug in #Aptitude genauer anschauen kann. Wurde wegen der ganzen t64-Migration aber spät, sodass ich heute nicht vor 16 Uhr aus den Federn kam. Dummerweise ist der Raspi gestern noch bei einer Frage hängen geblieben. D.h. ich schwinge mich doch noch kurz aufs Velo. 👋
