... or NEVER use aptitude. I don't know, I hear people
talking about
using aptitude all the time, but I've never liked it. Maybe
I'm just
not smart enough. I've always stuck with apt-get and have
never had
these problems. And if you want a cli interface that's a
little easier
and smarter than apt-get, then use wajig. Here are some
things it does:
* Use sudo in the background if you are a sudoer (wajig will
work fine,
no need to `sudo wajig`)
* Either run wajig commands directly by using `wajig
command-name` or
enter wajig and user it's command prompt.
* List wajig commands: `wajig listcommands`
