apt-get and aptitide were two missing competitors of the misc competition. However it is important and interesting how these two tools compete against other solvers submitted to MISC. In this post I want to present two simple tools to convert cudf documents to something that apt-get based tools can handle. Cudf and debian share many characteristics but also have important semantic differences. One important difference is about installing multiple versions of the same package.

In the same spirit of this blog post http://chistera.yi.org/~adeodato/blog/106_fakeapt.html , this is a simple bash function to simulate an aptitude run on a given status and packages list.
