[01:10] <puff> krytarik: aptitude is out of favor?
[01:27] <krytarik> puff: Well, I mean since it seems to be still maintained, you are free to use it, but since it's not the default APT tool in Ubuntu for so long and I've personally never used it, I wouldn't trust it to do things right.
[01:32] <puff> AFAIk it's never been the default APT tool for any distro.
[01:38] <krytarik> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1743/is-aptitude-still-considered-superior-to-apt-get - this thread talks a bit about it, as well as indicates more clearly that it has been the default in Ubuntu prior to version 10.10
