3. LPIC-1 / Package and Repository Management

This tool is pre-installed on Debian-based distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, Kali Linux, and Linux Mint. Its primary function is to install and remove packages with the .deb extension, as well as reconfigure and retrieve information about the packages. However, it does not allow for package downloads nor does it perform Automatic Dependency Resolution (ADR).
