Buddy 1.14

Tired of a broken package system after upgrading using dselect or aptitude? Buddy is a hardcore Debian package handler reduced to its essential functions. Buddy is not intended as replacement for the common Debian package manager
Buddy is a tiny, fast, and proper Debian package handler which acts as a wrapper to apt-get and dpkg.
Every command is shown before it is executed. It has the ability to backup the package setup and simulate package manipulations (dry run).
Main features:
- package maintenance (backup, diagnostic, audit, cleanup, renew, repair)
- package information (find/search, details, status, list, count)
- package manipulation (install, uninstall, remove, purge, configure)
Advantages:
- failover safe - simulate sensitive package manipulations (dry run)
- more secure - backup your package-setup to be more reversible
- faster - no packagelist loading at startup
- more transparent - every command is shown before executed
- completely shell based - no curses or other libraries needed
Enhancements:
- This is a work in progress snapshot.
