pacapt VS nala

pacapt?

i use debian on some remote servers and, thankfully found this, which i immediately installed https://github.com/icy/pacapt because i have no idea how to successfully use apt. plus, i hate the formatting. so, nala is a positive, for sure!

You can do --sync --search but that isn't much better. There is this neat tool however: https://github.com/icy/pacapt I recently used it because I was in a hurry and had not time to read up on SLES and an ancient CentOS install I was forced to deal with. But I guess you had the opposite in mind.

The Arch Rosetta page spawned the lovely https://github.com/icy/pacapt , which is an automated form I use everywhere despite not actually having used Arch in years.

Oh dude, pacapt is your friend!

here ya go, buddy. -- https://github.com/icy/pacapt

You should take a look at pacapt

Like pacapt but the other way around

It will not automatically remove dependencies that were installed along with a package when that package is removed. I'm guessing this is due to some historical ideology about how `apt-get` was intended to function. I just typically run `apt remove foobar && apt -y autoremove`.

There is also nala, which _does_ automatically remove dependencies when you remove a package: https://github.com/volitank/nala

this https://github.com/volitank/nala looks pretty cool, i'll admit.

Use Nala...it sorts and downloads from fastest mirrors...

For those interested, here is a link to nala's project page on github.

Nala is a front-end for libapt-pkg. Using the python-apt api.

There is a wrapper for apt called nala. It looks clean and better than pacman. You might enjoy Debian family better with it.

Nala?
