I think aptitude is better for some things and apt-get is better for others. I don't really use aptitude so not much experience to offer really.jzhang wrote:And I wandering why aptitude doesn't work?
You're right it's gone now but I swear it was there the other day.It cann't find GTK3-engine
When you install a package from experimental, apt-get in sid will install dependencies from experimental if necessary. I'm not sure that aptitude will default to this behaviour. It was a recent change in apt-get.jzhang wrote:And I wandering why aptitude doesn't work?

But honestly, thank you in advance for any advice, it's been a long stint away from linux as I've been spending a lot of time recording music in my studio (I'll be learning Ardour soon enough, pass on those flames! Reaper is not bad! Be honest!!)
