aptitude 和 apt-get 一样，是 Debian 及其衍生系统中功能极其强大的包管理工具。
aptitude 与 apt-get 不同的是，aptitude 在处理依赖问题上要更好一些。
aptitude 整合了 dselect 和 apt-get 的所有功能, 并提供的更多特性，特别是在依赖关系的处理上。
譬如：aptitude 在删除一个包时，会同时删除本身所依赖的包。 这样的话，系统中不会残留无用的包，整个系统会更为干净。
示例： uname -a
aptitude [-S fname] [-u|-i]
aptitude [options] <action> ...
注意：
aptitude 没有 Super Cow Powers。
