es perfecto para que los nuevos no se compliquen, o para instalar de forma cómoda revisando un tutorial
2015-12-09 Vanessa Michelle Faxanadu Okay... handles text links with "apt-get whatever" perfectly. But it does NOT handle apt:// URLs like I thought it would! That's the only reason why I got this! EDIT: boyfriend of mine submitted your first GitHub issue about this! https://github.com/Ferk/apt-linker/issues/1
