NAME

6       cdist-type__package_apt - Manage packages with apt-get
7

DESCRIPTION

9       apt-get  is usually used on Debian and variants (like Ubuntu) to manage
10       packages. The package will be installed  without  recommended  or  sug‐
11       gested  packages. If such packages are required, install them separatly
12       or use the parameter --install-recommends.
13
14       This type will also update package index, if it is older than one  day,
15       to avoid missing package error messages.
16

25
26       target-release
27              Passed on to apt-get install, see apt-get(8).   Essentially  al‐

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS

35       install-recommends
36              If the package will be installed, it also  installs  recommended
37              packages  with  it.  It will not install recommended packages if
38              the original package is already installed.
39
40              In most cases, it is recommended to install recommended packages
41              separatly to control which additional packages will be installed
42              to avoid useless installed packages.
43
44       purge-if-absent
45              If this parameter is given when state is absent, the package  is
46              purged from the system (using --purge).
