apt-get is dpackage with even more things wrong. Pretend you have a dialup connection or other lousy connection, or are low on space, or don't have too much time, or a slow processor. Now apt-get sucks.
Ok, pretend you have program-1.10 that has features x,y,z that you use every day. You want to install proggie-1.0 which requires the completely redesigned and incompatible program-2.0.
You apt-get blindly the proggie and apt-get blows away program-1.10 and replaces it with program-2.0.
