aptdcon  allows  to  perform  package  management  tasks,  e.g.  installing  or  removing software, using
       aptdaemon. There isn't any need to be root to run this programme.

       By  default aptdaemon logs to the syslog facility AptDaemon. Furthermore you can use the -d option to get
       additional information on the command line.

       The following command will install the package xterm and remove the package eterm in the same run:
              $ aptdcon --install "xterm" --remove "eterm"

       To handle more than one package the names have to be put into quotation marks. The following command will
       install xterm and eterm:
              $ aptdcon --install "xterm eterm"

       The following command  will  add  the  backport  repository  to  the  sources.list  in  a  separate  file
       /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list :
              $ aptdcon --sources-file backports.list \
                  --add-repostiry "deb http://archive.backports.org/debian stable main"
