<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<B>aptd</B>
[<I>OPTIONS</I>]
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>aptd</B>
allows to perform package management tasks, e.g. installing or removing
software, using a D-Bus interface. The privileges are handled by PolicyKit
so the client application doesn't need to run as root. Furthermore aptd is
started by D-Bus activation only when an user calls a method.
