Strict no to apt! Get "aptitude"


If you use a Debian derivative distro of Linux, you must be using apt package manager to install and remove software packages. But lets make it clear it is really a painful and awkward thing.
The most painful problem of this package manager is the problem of broken packages, which you can never fix!
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
And this problem is so bad that sometimes you feel like moving to windows again.
But you don’t have to worry anymore. You can use another package manager called “aptitude” which is way more smarter than “apt”.

aptitude can fix the broken packages with your permission and allow you to install any package in your linux machine.
To install “aptitude” just type in your terminal-
sudo apt-get install aptitude
After install “aptitude” whenever you have to install any package just type-
sudo aptitude install <package-name>
