Hi all:


I just installed Debian Stretch 9.3.0 and noticed that the Aptitude package was not installed by default.

I searched into Synaptics package manager and noticed that the package is not marked with the Debian icon indicating that the package is not supported.

I would appreciate any comments about it.

What other command line packages are recommended instead of Aptitude?

Is Aptitude or will be soon a deprecated package ? (Debian Reference still contains a good deal of information about Aptitude)

Regards

Oscar Corte
