Yes, but Ubuntu is not Debian.
I recommend using apt-get in Ubutnu. Based on a lot of testing I have done, using the
update-manager in Ubuntu is the same as running:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Synaptic Package Manager also seems to use apt-get based on my experince.
There are subtle differences between the way apt-get and aptitude handle dependencies. How significant this is in Ubuntu, I really don't know. But I recommend using apt-get just to keep in sync with update-manager, and synaptic package manager, just in case you ever use those.
I do like searching for things with aptitude though. This is fine.
