aptitude is a package manager with a number of useful features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible manner, dselect-like persistence of user actions, the ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most packages, and a command-line mode similar to that of apt-get.

aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and housebroken.

Mines is a puzzle game where you locate mines floating in an ocean using only your brain and a little bit of luck.

KMines is a game where the player finds hidden mines without setting them off.

This package is part of the KDE games module.
