cupt - 2.10.4+nmu1+b1 main

This package provides a console interface to Cupt library, which implements
high-level package manager for Debian and derivatives. Cupt is written with
flexibility and reliability in mind and uses dpkg as the back-end.
.
Cupt uses the same APT infrastructure, e.g. index files, deb cache archive
files, configuration files. It understands some of widely used APT options.
.
Some features:
- strict full-case resolver;
- resolver reasons tracking;
- command-line and 'cupt::*' option name checker;
- case-sensitive search;
- pinning by source package name;
- pinning by package groups using shell-like patterns;
- configurable 'depends' and 'rdepends' subcommands;
- 'satisfy' subcommand;
- support of LZMA-compressed indexes;
- source versions synchronization;
- 'shell' subcommand (to get command history, search etc. working, install
the package 'libreadline7');
- integration with debdelta (to get it, install the package 'debdelta');
- system snapshots (needs packages 'dpkg-dev' and 'dpkg-repack').
.
Its interface is mostly like apt-get/aptitude console interface.
.
Cupt has built-in support for APT repositories using the file:// or copy://
URL schemas. For access to remote repositories using HTTP or FTP, install a
download method such as libcupt4-2-downloadmethod-curl.
