2014-03-05 15:53:06 +00:00
`aptitude search {{package}}`
- Search for an installed package (`?installed` is an aptitude search term):
`aptitude search '?installed({{package}})'`
- Remove a package and all packages depending on it:
2014-03-05 15:53:06 +00:00
`aptitude remove {{package}}`
- Upgrade installed packages to newest available versions:
2014-03-05 15:53:06 +00:00
`aptitude upgrade`
- Upgrade installed packages (like `aptitude upgrade`) including removing obsolete packages and installing additional packages to meet new package dependencies:
2014-03-05 15:53:06 +00:00

`aptitude hold '?installed({{package}})'`
