apt-get vs. aptitude: error report

[breezeight]

Hi,
on error aptitude exit with code 0 and capistrano doesn't report for
any errors.
Is it better to use apt-get instead of aptitude?

Example:

dm@ubuntu-test:~$ sudo aptitude install apache2 apache2.2-common
apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-prefork-dev apache2-utils libexpat1 ssl-
cert -y
[ ... etc ...]

Hello Nicola,

It looks like it's a good idea.
I created a LH ticket here :
http://suitmymind.lighthouseapp.com/projects/22483-ubuntu-machine/tickets/15-apt-get-vs-aptitude-error-report

And I'm working on it.

Best,
