AptPkg::System - APT system abstraction class
use AptPkg::System;
The AptPkg::System module provides an interface to APT's system
abstraction mechanism.
The AptPkg::System package implements the APT pkgSystem class.
An instance of the AptPkg::System class appropriate for the particular
back-end packaging system (deb, rpm, etc.) may be fetched using the
system method from AptPkg::Config.
A global instance of the libapt-pkg _system instance is provided as
$AptPkg::System::_system, and may be imported.
The following methods are implemented:
- label
-
Return the description of the packaging system, for example:
Debian dpkg interface
for Debian systems.
- lock
-
Lock the packaging system.
- unlock(QUIET)
-
Unlock the packaging system, ignoring errors if QUIET is non-zero.
- versioning
