Hey guys,

Recently there was a thread about aptitude dependency resolution
limitations.

Years ago, I believe I read in the Debian documentation that aptitude was
preferred to apt-get, because it seemed to have better dependency
resolution.

Now, we have apt, as well.

So, all other things being equal, which is currently considered to be the
best at dependency resolution?
