Aptitude: a terminal-based package manager

Aptitude is a terminal-based package manager that can be used instead of apt-get. Aptitude marks packages that are automatically installed and removes them when no packages depend on them. This makes it easy to remove applications completely. To use Aptitude, replace apt-get with aptitude in the command line. Example: sudo aptitude install packagename sudo aptitude remove packagename sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude upgrade For an ncurses-based graphical user interface, type sudo aptitude For more information, see the aptitude documentation
