Lately I've been using aptitude rather than apt-get for all of my software install/remove needs. Even with the autoremove function, apt-get lags behind aptitude in terms of handling dependencies.
Unfortunately, I very much like Synaptic, which uses apt-get. So recently I've only been able to use Synaptic, my favorite package install/remove program, as a search tool.
I really wish there were a GUI for aptitude. But wait, there is. It comes in aptitude 0.5, which is included in Debian installations. But Ubuntu is still using aptitude 0.4. Is there any way to install aptitude 0.5 in Ubuntu? I've searched for a .deb file, but haven't found one.
