To search for specific packages, I think Dale and Mark did a good set. |
| 33 |
As for the others, like "revdep-rebuild", there is also "python-updater" and |
| 34 |
"etc-update". |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The last "etc-update" is only really needed when doing upgrades. I would like |
| 37 |
to recommend you try these commands before you are too dependent on the |
| 38 |
installation. |
| 39 |
Making mistakes while learning is a good method, but can also be extremely |
| 40 |
frustrating when these same mistakes keep you from enjoying the use of the |
| 41 |
computer. (Yes, I am speaking from personal experience ;) ) |
