I note that in the instructions for installing
TDE R14.0.8 say to run as
root the following:
apt-get update
aptitude install TDE-trinity
I am confused by the fact that two different installation applications
are used here, apt get and aptitude. It was always my understanding that
those two apps should not be mixed because they are not compatible. I
have always used apt for all the desktops I ever had including for
installing TDE and never had any problem.
Is aptitude better for TDE than apt? I would prefer to use apt because
that is what I plan to use for installing Debian Buster on a couple of
desktops in the near future.
I quit apt-get when I discovered apt quite some years ago. For
installing, removing and purging since that discovery, I routinely use
only apt. Aptitude I use mostly for searching.
simply would like to know what the advantage is for you in apt?
I use apt-get from habit but out of ignorance more than anything else
I don't know of a reason to change.
ditto - Please enlighten us.
