The package manager is the system that manage packages(programs or libraries)
Programs are the main files
Libraries are common programs that other programs use.
Command line package management
GUI package management.
The classic here is Synaptic Package manager. It has not been updated since 2015 so for general use try something else
- That said there are times when Synaptic can do thing the others cannot.
In KDE we like the Muon Package Manager.
- It seems pretty current.
Issues
There are a few common things that can go wrong.
Change in PPA Label
This can happen when the developer makes a change to the core files of the PPA
If you use apt-get you will not get the option to accept the change.
The gui will not do this for you.
Option 1:
sudo apt update
Accept the changes.
Option 2:
sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change
