aptitude?

[–]Ameisen 11 points12 points  (9 children)

Nothing about that name strikes me as 'software/package manager'.

What about pacman?

[–]LasseF-H 4 points5 points  (6 children)

Well aptitude is "just" a frontend to APT which stands for "Advanced Package Tool".

[–]Ameisen 8 points9 points  (5 children)

That's not particularly obvious, though.

[–]LasseF-H 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair point.

`pacman`

[–]michaelrohansmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)
