thought I saw this the other day in the forum as part of a purge command. when I used it the command removed older versions of packages, for example libx264, i had -94 -96 and -98 it removed the 2 older versions. Does anyone know what command I am talking about?

Well it didn't go smoothly for me. After downloading over 1,6Gb (!) of that new Debian version and restarting I was 'greeted' by a dreaded CLI instead of gnome. To make matters worse I got "command aptitude not found".
'apt-get' still worked.
Anyway, if you're gonna update check dependencies first. It seems I lost gnome due to gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs. So first uninstall that package if you got it.

I'm building a script for my place of employment. The next step in it is checking what the user input was. Determining if they added a part in there or not. The script prompts for a hostname. Hostnames are localhost.localdomain. Now, I want the script to check to see if they put localdomain and if they did, not to add the domain to the /etc/sysconfig/network, but just what they entered. So say the user inputs:

Almost by mistake, I figured out you could do something like:

And that runs the same command with bar2.data instead of bar1.data. Now, how about if I have multiple occurrences of the target word? For example:
$ cp foo.data bar.data
$ ^data^index
It only replaces the first data extension. How do I get it to replace both?

When looking for a certain word or phrase in the man page of linux command, one can type '/' followed by the word/phrase to search for it. What I'd like to be able to do is to search for the next occurrence of the word/phrase without having to type it out again. Kinda like when you use 'ctrl+f' in a browser to search for a word, and then press 'enter' to find the next occurrence of that word.If this is possible to do, how do I do it?

I'm fairly new to debian, but not to Linux overall. And it seems that I can not install anything using the "apt-get" or "aptitude" commands. Here is what it says when I try to install synaptic:
apt-get install synaptic

Package synaptic is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.

From what I understand aptitude and apt-get are both valid package management tools and it should not matter which one you use (of course the user interface is different, but the basic functionality is the same). I found something which makes me believe there are differences: I ran aptitude install gnome-themes-more and it did nothing because the package was already installed. Then I ran apt-get install gnome-themes-more just to see the difference, and it also did not install anything, but it marked the package as manually installed.
The I ran again apt-get install gnome-themes-more and this time the package was not marked as manually install (obviously because it's already marked). This makes me believe that aptitude did not mark my package as manually installed (I would have pasted the command output as well, but I don't have it anymore). So, is the core functionality of those tools the same or not?
I used until now apt-get and wonder if I should have used aptitude. I have found some wikis which recommend the usage of aptitude but I could not find out if this reccomendation is based only on the UI improvements or are there also improvements in the core functionality. I'd like some hints from more seasoned debianers about which one to use, or whether it matters. I'm maily using command line, so user interface is not an issue,
I'm using Debian Testing (I know it doesn't happen in Stable)

Why apt-get can while aptitude can't?
I've searched on web, and all I can tell is that aptitude is "safer" than apt-get because it taking account the packages on hold.
But I don't have any package on hold! (I've tested dpkg --get-selections | grep hold)
How to find packages with aptitude. If I use the shell to type "aptitude search nethack" then I get a list of several nethack versions from which to choose. If I use the aptitude GUI and type Ctrl-T and then arrow over to the search option and type in "nethack" and hit Enter, the only option that I see is nethack-spoilers. Why do I not see all of the other nethack options?
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust today saw that for some reason aptitude seems broken. Dunno the reason. I don't know if its do with aptitude or some other update which introduced the issue. The issue is simple.
Before I could do something like $sudo aptitude purge linux-image [TAB]
Putting down the tab it would autocomplete or/and give other options if there were multiple options (it would do some kinda grep)
Now after the update of aptitude few days ago and other things I get something like this : sudo aptitude purge linux-image [TAB]grep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:14651: expected a colon

There were some grave bugs being showed by listbugs for apt dpkg etc

Now unable to 'unhold' dpkg. ie

dpkg : Conflicts: dpkg:i386 but 1.17.23 is to be installed.
dpkg:i386 : Conflicts: dpkg but 1.17.13 is installed.
So I can only conclude that aptitude sees the need to upgrade from .13 to .23 but for some reason it cant 'get out' of the installed dpkg:amd64

I've been trying to use aptitude for package management, but nothing happens in response to my commands, even as root.
Let's say for example I want to purge popcon. According to the helpfile, I should start aptitude, become root (or vice-versa), select the package in the list and press '_' (underscore), and then it will be marked with something in the left column and a different color in the list. Then later, another command will actually do the purge.
But nothing happens. It doesn't get marked or change color or anything, and 'g' just gets the message 'No packages are scheduled to be installed, removed, or upgraded.'
What am i doing incorrectly?
I tried synaptic "aptitude install synaptic". Got this:
