Rcpp Interface to the APT Package Manager

Description

Debian-based systems such as Debian, Ubuntu, or their derivatives use the APT Package Manager, commonly via programs such as apt-get, apt-cache or other frontends written against the APT libraries.

This package offers a simple interface from R, mostly so that the package management system can be queried.

Details

The APT library API is described in the package libapt-pkg-doc.
