Linux系统具有强大的包管理能力

一、包管理基本原理

Linux系统具有强大的包管理能力，能够自动从互联网的软件仓库中搜索、安装、升级、卸载软件或操作系统。其基本原理为：

1. 厂商或开源组织将软件包放至服务器中，构成源或软件仓库，以供用户下载使用；
2. 软件仓库有很多，国内常用的源有阿里源、清华源等等。Ubuntu源信息记录在/etc/apt/sources.list中

root@linux:/var/lib/apt/lists$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb [arch=amd64] http://mirrors.aliyun.com/docker-ce/linux/ubuntu bionic stable
# deb-src [arch=amd64] http://mirrors.aliyun.com/docker-ce/linux/ubuntu bionic stable

3. 执行apt-get update命令，则会根据/etc/apt/sources.list记录的源站信息，扫描源服务器，并建立软件包的索引文件，存放在/var/lib/apt/lists/中

root@linux:/var/lib/apt/lists# ll
total 222044

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   242048 Apr 27  2018 mirrors.aliyun.com_ubuntu_dists_bionic_InRelease
......

进一步，查看文件的信息，则：

root@linux:/var/lib/apt/lists# cat mirrors.aliyun.com_ubuntu_dists_bionic_InRelease | more

4. 执行apt-get install XXX，则会根据软件包的索引文件，找到最新版本的软件包及其依赖关系，下载(或更新)、解压、安装和配置软件包。

root@linux:/var/lib/apt/lists# apt-get install git

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  grub-pc-bin
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.
Suggested packages:
  git-daemon-run | git-daemon-sysvinit git-doc git-el git-email git-gui gitk gitweb git-cvs git-mediawiki git-svn
The following packages will be upgraded:
  git
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 315 not upgraded.

5. 执行apt-get upgrade，则可以将所有软件包一次性升级到最新版本。

root@linux:/var/lib/apt/lists# apt-get upgrade

二、工具apt-get和apt区别：

1. Ubuntu 16.04版本前，使用apt-get、apt-cache和apt-config进行包的管理；存在的问题：命令过于分散，并且apt-cache和apt-config用得比较少。
2. Ubuntu 16.04版本发布时，引入apt命令以解决命令分散的问题；存在的问题：apt并未完全取代apt-get命令。
