La nuova versione di APT porta novità che cambieranno notevolmente il modo con cui utilizziamo questo tool da riga di comando. Questo il post di Michael Vogt su Planet Debian:

Citazione:

APT 1.0 was released on the 1. April 2014
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/04/msg00013.html
The first APT version was announced on the 1. April exactly 16 years ago https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1998/04/msg00027.html

The big news for this version is that we included a new “apt” binary that combines the most commonly used commands from apt-get and apt-cache. The commands are the same as their apt-get/apt-cache counterparts but with slightly different configuration options.

Currently the apt binary supports the following commands:

* list: which is similar to dpkg list and can be used with flags like
--installed or --upgradable.
* search: works just like apt-cache search but sorted alphabetically.
* show: works like apt-cache show but hide some details that people are less likely to care about (like the hashes). The full record is still available via apt-cache show of course.
* update: just like the regular apt-get update with color output enabled.
* install,remove: adds progress output during the dpkg run.
* upgrade: the same as apt-get dist-upgrade –with-new-pkgs.
* full-upgrade: a more meaningful name for dist-upgrade.
* edit-sources: edit sources.list using $EDITOR.

Here is what the new progress looks like in 1.0:

You can enable/disable the install progress via:

# echo 'Dpkg::Progress-Fancy "1"' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99progressbar

If you have further suggestions or bugreport about APT, get in touch and most importantly, have fun!
