Hi, Jan.

Yes, it is, but "aptitude" is better at fixing broken dependencies.

However, I *really* don't like the "aptitude" TUI - I use "synaptic" for
that sort of task. I mainly use "aptitude -f" to make sure the APT
database is consistent before installing packages and also when I'm
troubleshooting a broken system. I switched to "aptitude" because it's
recommended by Debian for managing packages from the command-line.

Bye,

  Tony.
