Debian’s Advanced Package Tool (APT) is the suite of utilities that handle package
management on Debian and Debian-derived operating systems. APT recently received a
major upgrade to 3.0 just in time for inclusion in Debian 13
(“trixie”), which is planned for release sometime in 2025. The version bump is
warranted; the latest APT has user-interface improvements, switches to Sequoia to verify package
signatures, and includes solver3—a new solver that is designed to improve
how it evaluates and resolves package dependencies.
