Debian APT Package Manager upgraded to version 1.0 new features released

APT (Advanced package management tool) is a manager that allows Debian, Ubuntu, and its derivative systems to use the default command line management software. APT has released version 1.0, the first update in 16 years. Both the New Ubuntu and the deb package management in the Ubuntu Software Center need to be used.

APT 1.0 comes with new features:

• APT list: List of installed and upgraded packages, dpkg-l command output;
• APT searches for local repository packages. The apt-cache search Command searches for packages in alphabetical order;
• APT displays the package information. apt-cache show simplifies the display output;
• Apt updates the index of the local repository. Color output is displayed when the apt-get update command is updated;
• A progress bar is added when apt-get install is installed;
• The apt-get remove command also adds a progress bar to delete the software package;
• You can also enter apt-get dist-upgrade for apt full-upgrade.
• Use the apt edit-sources command to open the source file/etc/apt/sources. list in the default editor.

You can install and upgrade through PPA, open the terminal, and enter the following command:

Sudo add-apt-repository ppa: mvo/apt-src-ftparchive
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get install apt
