[APT] is a system that layers automatic package dependency resolution on top of an arbitrary PackageManagementTool. The original implementation uses [Debian]'s [Deb] package format as a base, but with AptForRpm an implementation that supports [RedHat]'s [RPM] format also exists. |

[APT] has calculated that in order to install the latest version of <tt>foo</tt>, you will need to upgrade to a newer <tt>bar</tt> and <tt>baz</tt>; <tt>quux</tt> is [Deprecated] by the new version of <tt>baz</tt>, so it will remove that package. It also calculated that with the old versions of the packages gone and the new ones updated and installed, an additional 1234[KB] disk space will be taken. |
