  Advanced Packaging Tool - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Advanced Packaging Tool, or APT, is a package management system used by Debian GNU/Linux and its derivatives.
APT simplifies the process of managing software on Unix systems, by automating the retrieval, configuration and installation of software packages, either from binary files or by compiling source code.
APT front-ends can list the dependencies of packages being installed or upgraded, ask the administrator if packages recommended or suggested by newly installed packages should be installed too, automatically install dependencies and perform other operations on the system such as removing obsolete files and packages.

 EDOS - PackageOverview
Advanced Packaging Tool (or apt) is the tool used originally by Debian to manage package retrieval and dependency handling.
The first is that a package might contain a dependency to another package which is not distributed by the same distribution vendor (either not distributed at all or not distributed with the same name or configuration).
Packagers, who are often not the developers and not the distribution editors, are due to make mistakes and not include necessary package dependencies in the metadata.

 Advanced Packaging Tool Information
When installing one or several packages, APT front-ends can list the dependencies of these packages, ask the administrator if packages recommended or suggested by newly installed packages should be installed too, automatically install dependencies and perform other operations on the system's packages to allow the installation of the packages.
APT is often hailed as one of Debian's best features, giving Debian the reputation of being a "pain to install, but a joy to maintain", although with Debian 3.1 and its Debian-Installer, Debian's installation might be too easy nowadays to keep this true.
APT pinning is a way for administrators to make Debian's version of APT to grab particular packages from different distributions, using it with more than two of the Debian release sources: stable, testing, and unstable.

 An 'Apt' Approach To Linux Configuration Management - Software News by InformationWeek
Apt easily handles configuration-management tasks, including package upgrades, installations and removals, and deftly handles package dependencies, downloading correct packages and modifying configuration files where necessary.
Apt does away with having to make such choices and gives solution providers a new option.
For most distributions and versions, Apt is a breeze to install, requires no additional configuration and saves hours of chasing through a maze of modules.

A solution is to install one version of the package with the set of software packages that depend on it in one location and the other version of the package with its dependent software packages in another location.
RPM and for that matter most gnu build tools such as autoconf assume that a package will be built in only one way.[1] To wit, the RPM spec file is formatted to support one build cycle.
We defined build dependencies and other build characteristics[3] inside the packaging data which are extracted by the build system and passed into a package's makefiles during the configure stage of the build process.

 Iraqi Linux User Group - APT (Advanced Packaging Tool)
The RPM (Red Hat package Managment) system was introduced to take the pain of compiling the tar.gz'ed source code of the application away from the end user who wants to install the software and get it running with minimum effort and with ease.
When a package you are trying to install detects missing liberary(s) or package(s) that it depends on, the RPM will generate a list of required file(s) or/and package(s) that must be installed before the desired RPM package could be correctly installed.
APT works by generating a list of all installed packages in your system and compare this list to lists from sources (software package repositories availble on the internet, or on CDs).

 Create Debian Linux packages
Note that many packages cannot be used or should not be used with the default settings contained in their configuration files.
Every Debian binary package should have a filename that follows this format: packagename_version_arch.deb, where "packagename" is the name of the package, "version" is the package version with major, minor, and revision numbers, and "arch" is the architecture for the package.
According to the policy manual, "list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations." Packages that are likely to be useful but aren't in any way required should be listed in the "Suggests" field.

They needed a rapid, practical, and efficient way to install packages that would manage dependencies automatically and take care of their configuration files while upgrading.
Here again, Debian led the way and gave birth to APT, the Advanced Packaging Tool, which has since been ported by Conectiva for use with rpm and has been adopted by some other distributions.
This manual makes no attempt to address apt-rpm, as the Conectiva port of APT is known, but "patches" to this document which do so would be welcome.
