+ <title>What is a package manager?</title>
+
+ <para>
+ A <firstterm>package manager</firstterm> keeps track of what
+ software is installed on your computer, and allows you to easily
+ install new software, upgrade software to newer versions, or
+ remove software that you previously installed. As the name
+ suggests, package managers deal with
+ <firstterm>packages</firstterm>: collections of files that are
+ bundled together and can be installed and removed as a group.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Often, a package is just a particular program. For instance,
+ the instant messaging client <command>gaim</command> is
+ contained in the Debian package of the same name. On the other
+ hand, it is common for programs to consist of several
+ interrelated packages. For instance, the
+ <command>gimp</command> image editor consists not only of the
+ <systemitem>gimp</systemitem> package, but also of the
+ <systemitem>gimp-data</systemitem> package; in addition, several
+ optional add-on packages (containing esoteric data,
+ documentation, and so on) are also available. It is also
+ possible for several small, related programs to be contained in
+ a single package: for instance, the
+ <systemitem>fileutils</systemitem> package contains several
+ common Unix commands, such as <command>ls</command>,
+ <command>cp</command>, etc.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Some packages require other packages in order to function. In
+ Debian, packages can <firstterm>depend</firstterm> upon,
+ <firstterm>recommend</firstterm>,
+ <firstterm>suggest</firstterm>, or
+ <firstterm>conflict</firstterm> with other packages.
+ </para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ If a package A depends upon another package B, then B is
+ required for A to operate properly. For instance, the
+ <systemitem>gimp</systemitem> package depends upon the

+ The package list displays an <quote>at-a-glance</quote> synopsis of a
+ package's state. For instance, the package
+ <systemitem>webmin</systemitem> might have the
+ following synopsis:
+ </para>
+
+ <screen>piAU webmin +5837kB &lt;none&gt; 1.160-2</screen>
+
+ <para>
+ The four characters on the left-hand side of the
+ synopsis show that the package is not installed
+ (<quote>p</quote>), that it is going to be installed
+ (<quote>i</quote>), that it was automatically installed
+ (<quote>A</quote>), and that it is untrusted
+ (<quote>U</quote>). On the right-hand side of the
+ synopsis, the current version and the most recent
+ available version are displayed, along with an
+ indication of how much space will be used by the
+ upgrade.

+ The four status flags on the left-hand side of the

+ state. The first character is the package's
+ <emphasis>current state</emphasis>. The second

+ <title>Trusting additional keys</title>
+
+ <para>
+ You might find it useful to allow &apt; to trust
+ additional archives, besides the main Debian archive. For
+ each archive that you want to trust, you will have to
+ acquire the public key that is used to sign the archive's
+ package index. This is typically a text file whose name
+ ends in <filename>.asc</filename>; it might be provided by
+ the site administrator or downloadable from a public
+ keyserver. For more information on what public keys are
+ and how to get them, see the <ulink
+ url='http://www.gnupg.org'>GPG web page</ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The list of keys that apt will trust is stored in the
+ <firstterm>keyring file</firstterm>
+ <filename>/etc/apt/trusted.gpg</filename>. Once you have
+ the GPG key, you can add it to this file by executing the
+ command <command>gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring
+ /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --import
+ <replaceable>newkey.asc</replaceable></command>.
+ &aptitude; will then trust any archive that is signed with
+ the key contained in <filename>newkey.asc</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <warning>
+ <para>
+ Once an archive's key has been added to the APT keyring,
+ it will be trusted just as much as the main Debian
+ mirrors themselves! You should only do this if you are

+ <emphasis>and</emphasis> that the person who holds the
+ key is trustworthy and competent.

+ <title>Managing automatically installed packages</title>
+
+ <para>
+ To install one package, it is often necessary to install
+ several others (to fulfill its dependencies). For instance,
+ if you wish to install the
+ <systemitem>clanbomber</systemitem> package, you must also
+ install the package <systemitem>libclanlib2</systemitem>.
+ If you remove <systemitem>clanbomber</systemitem> again, you
+ probably no longer need the
+ <systemitem>libclanlib2</systemitem> package; &aptitude;
+ will attempt to detect this and automatically remove the
+ <systemitem>libclanlib2</systemitem> package.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ It works like this: when you install a package, &aptitude;
+ will automatically install any other packages on which it
+ depends. These packages are marked as having been
+ <quote>automatically installed</quote>; &aptitude; will monitor them and
+ remove them when they are no longer depended upon by any
+ manually installed package
+ <footnote>
+ <para>
+ More precisely: they will be removed when there is no
+ path via Depends, PreDepends, or Recommends to them from
+ a manually installed package. If <link
+ linkend='configKeepSuggests'>Aptitude::Keep-Suggests</link>
+ is true, a Suggests relationship is also enough to keep
+ a package installed.
+ </para>
+ </footnote>
+ . They will appear in the preview as
+ <quote>packages being removed because they are no longer used.</quote>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ As with any automatic process, there is a potential for
+ things to go haywire. For instance, even if a package was
+ automatically installed to start with, it might turn out to
+ be useful in its own right. You can cancel the <quote>automatic</quote>
+ flag at any time by pressing <keycap>m</keycap>; if the
+ package is already being removed, you can use
+ &package-install; to cancel the removal and clear the
+ <quote>automatic</quote> flag.

+
+ <section id='secSearchPatterns'>
+ <title>Search Patterns</title>
+
+ <para>
+ When you search for a package or set a display limit in
+ &aptitude;, the string you enter is known as a <quote>search
+ pattern</quote>. While the most basic usage of search
+ patterns is to match packages by name, &aptitude; allows you
+ to create much more complex searches. In addition to the
+ visual interface, some command-line operations can use search
+ terms; see <xref linkend='secReference'/> for details.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A search pattern consists of one or more conditions (sometimes
+ known as <quote>terms</quote>); packages match the pattern if they match
+ all of its terms. Terms generally start with a tilde
+ character (<quote>~</quote>), followed by a character identifying the type
+ of term, and then any additional text required by the term.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ By default, patterns are checked against all versions of the
+ package. However, some patterns will restrict which versions
+ are tested. For instance, the <link
+ linkend='searchDep'><literal>~D</literal></link> pattern takes
+ another pattern as an argument, and matches any package that
+ depends on another package matching that pattern. In this
+ case, only package versions that satisfy the dependency will
+ be tested against. The versions that are used to test for a
+ match will only change in match terms that have a subterm
+ (like <link linkend='searchDep'><literal>~D</literal></link>).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Most textual searches (for package names, descriptions, etc)
+ are performed using case-insensitive <ulink
+ url='http://sitescooper.org/tao_regexps.html'>regular
+ expressions</ulink>. This means that you must
+ backslash-escape regular expression metacharacters
+ <footnote>
+ <para>
+ Regular expression metacharacters include:
+ <quote>+</quote>, <quote>-</quote>, <quote>.</quote>,
+ <quote>(</quote>, <quote>)</quote>, <quote>|</quote>,
+ <quote>[</quote>, <quote>]</quote>, <quote>^</quote>,
+ <quote>$</quote>, and <quote>?</quote>. Note that some of
+ these are also &aptitude; metacharacters, so if you want
+ to type (for instance) a literal <quote>|</quote>, it must
+ be double-escaped: <quote><literal>\~|</literal></quote>.
+ </para>
+ </footnote>
+ in searches (for instance, to find <quote>g++</quote>, you should use the
+ pattern <quote>g\+\+</quote>).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Normally, <quote>whitespace</quote> -- that is, space
+ characters, tabs, and so on -- separates terms but is
+ otherwise ignored by &aptitude;. To include whitespace (or
+ other special characters) in a term, you can either place a
+ tilde in front of it (as in <literal>Debian~
+ Project</literal>) or place quotation marks around it (as in
+ <literal>"Debian Project"</literal> or even <literal>Debian"
+ "Project</literal>). Inside a quoted string, the backslash
+ character (<quote>\</quote>) can be used to cancel the special
+ meaning of the quotation mark: for instance,
+ <literal>~d"\"email"</literal> will match any package whose
+ description contains a quotation mark followed immediately by
+ <literal>email</literal>.
+ <footnote>
+ <para>
+ The backslash escapes <literal>\\</literal>,
+ <literal>\n</literal>, and <literal>\t</literal> are also
+ available.

+
+ <note>

+ <title>Customizing the Package List</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The package list can be heavily customized: how packages are
+ displayed, how the package hierarchy is formed, how packages

+ open to change.
+ </para>
+
+ <section id='secDisplayFormat'>
+ <title>Customizing how packages are displayed</title>
+
+ <para>
+ This section describes how to configure the contents and
+ format of the package list, status line, and header line.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The format of each of these locations is defined by a
+ <quote>format string</quote>. A format string is a string of text
+ containing <literal>%</literal>-escapes such as
+ <literal>%p</literal>, <literal>%S</literal>, and so on.
+ The resulting output is created by taking the text and
+ replacing the <literal>%</literal>-escapes according to
+ their meanings (given below).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A <literal>%</literal>-escape can either have a fixed
+ size, in which case it is always replaced by the same
+ amount of text (with extra space characters added to fill
+ it out as necessary), or it can be <quote>expandable</quote>, meaning
+ that it takes up the space that is not claimed by
+ fixed-size columns. If there are several expandable
+ columns, the extra space is divided evenly between them.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ All <literal>%</literal>-escapes come with a default size
+ and/or expandability. The size of a
+ <literal>%</literal>-escape can be changed by writing it
+ between the <literal>%</literal> and the character
+ identifying the escape; for instance,
+ <literal>%20V</literal> generates the <link
+ linkend='formatCandVer'>candidate version</link> of the
+ package, 20 characters wide. Placing a question mark
+ (<literal>?</literal>) between the <literal>%</literal>
+ and the character identifying the escape causes the
+ column's <quote>basic</quote> width to vary depending on
+ its content. Note that the resulting columns might not
+ line up vertically!
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you want a particular <literal>%</literal>-escape to be
+ expandable, even though it normally has a fixed width,
+ place a pound sign (ie,
+ <quote><literal>#</literal></quote>) immediately after it.
+ For instance, to display the candidate version of a
+ package, no matter how long it is, use the format string
+ <literal>%V#</literal>. You can also place
+ <literal>#</literal> after something that is not a
+ <literal>%</literal>-escape; &aptitude; will
+ <quote>expand</quote> the text preceding the
+ <literal>#</literal> by inserting extra spaces after it.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In summary, the syntax of a <literal>%</literal>-escape is:
+ </para>
+
+ <synopsis><literal>%</literal><optional><replaceable>width</replaceable></optional><optional><literal>?</literal></optional><replaceable>code</replaceable><optional><literal>#</literal></optional></synopsis>

+ and <literal><link

+ <title>Customizing how packages are sorted</title>
+
+ <para>
+ By default, packages in the package list are sorted by
+ name. However, it is often useful to sort them according
+ to different criteria (for instance, package size), and
+ &aptitude; allows you to do just that by modifying the
+ <firstterm>sorting policy</firstterm>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Like the grouping policy described in <link
+ linkend='secGroupingPolicy'>the previous section</link>,
+ the sorting policy is a comma-separated list. Each item
+ in the list is the name of a sorting rule; if packages are
+ <quote>equal</quote> according to the first rule, the second rule is
+ used to sort them, and so on. Placing a tilde character
+ (<literal>~</literal>) in front of a rule reverses the
+ usual meaning of that rule. For instance,
+ <literal>priority,~name</literal> will sort packages by
+ priority, but packages with the same priority will be
+ placed in reverse order according to name.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ To change the sorting policy for an active package list,
+ press <keycap>S</keycap>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The available rules are:
+ </para>
+
+ <variablelist>

+ <title>Customizing keybindings</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The keys used to activate commands in &aptitude; can be
+ customized in the <link
+ linkend='secConfigFile'>configuration file</link>. Every
+ command has an associated configuration variable under
+ <literal>Aptitude::UI::Keybindings</literal>; to change the
+ keystroke bound to a command, just set the corresponding
+ variable to the keystroke. For instance, to make the key
+ <keycap>s</keycap> perform a search, set
+ <literal>Aptitude::UI::Keybindings::Search</literal> to
+ <quote><literal>s</literal></quote>. You can require the Control key to
+ be pressed by placing <quote><literal>C-</literal></quote> in front of
+ the key: for instance, using <quote><literal>C-s</literal></quote>
+ instead of <quote><literal>s</literal></quote> would bind Search to
+ <keycombo
+ action='simul'><keycap>Control</keycap><keycap>s</keycap></keycombo>
+ instead of <keycap>s</keycap>. Finally, you can bind a
+ command to several keys at once using a comma-separated
+ list: for instance, using <quote><literal>s,C-s</literal></quote> would
+ cause both <keycap>s</keycap> and <keycombo
+ action='simul'><keycap>Control</keycap><keycap>s</keycap></keycombo>
+ to perform a search.

+ <title>Customizing text colors and styles</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The colors and visual styles used by &aptitude; to display
+ text can be extensively customized. Each visual element has
+ an associated <quote>style</quote>, which describes the
+ particular colors and visual attributes that will be used to
+ display that element. Styles take the form of a list of
+ color and attribute settings. This list is not necessarily
+ exhaustive; if some colors or attributes are not explicitly
+ specified, their values will be taken from the surrounding
+ visual context. In fact, most visual elements have an
+ <quote>empty</quote> style by default.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can change the contents of a style by creating a
+ configuration group of the same name in the &apt; or
+ &aptitude; configuration file. For instance, the
+ <quote><literal>MenuBorder</literal></quote> style is used
+ to draw the visual border around drop-down menus. By
+ default, this border is drawn bold and white-on-blue.
+ Placing the following text in the configuration file would
+ change it to white-on-cyan:
+ </para>
+
+ <screen>Aptitude::UI::Styles {
+ MenuBorder {fg white; bg cyan; set bold;};
+};</screen>
+
+ <para>
+ As you can see, a style's configuration group consists of a
+ sequence of instructions. The general classes of
+ instructions are:
+ </para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><literal>fg</literal> <replaceable>color</replaceable></term>

+ <footnote>
+ <para>
+ On some terminals, a <quote>yellow</quote> background

+ <literal>default</literal> in place of a background color to
+ use the default terminal background (this could be the
+ default color, an image file, or even

+ recognizes are:
+ </para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>

+ You can select several attributes at once by separating them

+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ <para>

+
+ <para>
+ Once the display elements are arranged and have been given
+ an initial amount of space on the screen, there is likely

+ linkend='layoutRowExpand'>RowExpand</link></literal>

+ As you can see, an <literal>F</literal> appeared in the

+ the flag above), you can <quote>sweep</quote> around the
+ square. This is just a convenient shortcut to uncover all the

+ <question>
+ <para>
+ How can I find exactly one package by name?
+ </para>
+ </question>
+
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ As mentioned in <xref linkend='secSearchPatterns'/>, when
+ you search for a package by name, the text you enter is
+ actually a regular expression. Thus, the search pattern
+ <quote><literal>^<replaceable>name</replaceable>$</literal></quote>
+ will match only a package named
+ <replaceable>name</replaceable>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For instance, you can find <literal>apt</literal> (but not
+ <literal>aptitude</literal> or
+ <literal>synaptic</literal>) by entering
+ <userinput>^apt$</userinput>; you can find
+ <literal>g++</literal> (but not
+ <literal>g++-2.95</literal> or <literal>g++-3.0</literal>)
+ by entering <userinput>^g\+\+$</userinput>.

+ When a program running in an xterm is using the mouse, the

+ This section is presently rather incomplete and will likely be
