..possibly a case of not paying attention when reading manpages,
or in my case today, not reading all of todays posts in this
thread before posting on things I didn't recall. ;oD

..playing around with all the "apt family members" helps you find
solutions whenever any of the members fails to solve a dependency
etc puzzle.

..pick a favorite goto member and use that as your "daily driver"
to keep your apt depencency puzzle database manageable, and keep
yourself proficient on the other members so you can use those to
find solutions whenever your goto member fails to solve a puzzle.
