Full documentation for APT?
(lemmy.ml)
Linux introductions, tips and tutorials. Questions are encouraged. Any distro, any platform! Explicitly noob-friendly.
In the past there were mutliple tools: apt-cache (searching packages), apt-get (managing packages), apt-file (searching for files belonging to packages), apt-key (managing repository keys)...
A few years ago some developers created apt to combine these multiple tools into the single program called apt. Both tools (the old apt-... and the new apt) use dpkg in the backend to install and remove packages. Looks like apt hasn't done its documentation homework.
