Install An Updated Aptitude (With GUI) In Ubuntu

aptitude gtk

For some reason, the Aptitude version in Ubuntu 10.04 is 0.4.11 while Aptitude already reached version 0.6.2.1. The most important feature which misses from Ubuntu is Aptitude GTK - a GUI for Aptitude.


But you can install an updated Aptitude version which comes with Aptitude GTK from a PPA (available for Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yofel/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install aptitude-gtk


Note: the commands above use apt-get and not aptitude as one would expect for a post about aptitude because Ubuntu 10.10 won't come with Aptitude by default.


To run the GTK interface for Aptitude, all you have to do is press ALT + F2 and enter:
gksu aptitude
