What is Advanced Package Tool?
Apt (for Advanced Package Tool) is a set of core tools inside Debian.
Apt makes it possible to:
- Install applications
- Remove applications
- Keep your applications up to date
Apt, which basically resolves dependency problems and retrieves the requested packages, works with dpkg, another tool, which handles the actual installation and removal of packages (applications). Apt is very powerful, and is primarily used on the command line (console/terminal). There are, however, many GUI/Graphical tools to let you use Apt without having to touch the command line.

0x6A7232 thinks nala is an alternative to Advanced Package Tool- ab1 reviewed Advanced Package Toolabapt 2.4.5 won't run sudo apt clean after autoremove for each session.

The best package manager I've used. Very user friendly, and has many convienient functions.
The deb packages and tools around deb aren't suitable for really big programs because preinst scripts aren't easy to get separately.
The deb packages and tools around deb can't check hardware requirements.
For example, the levels of OpenGL or Vulkan are unknown to them. For example they cannot resolve packages based on CPU flags..
Some workaround are possible with preinst. Read this answer for some details: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/306013/391534.
Read this chapter about preinst: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html

This is not an application which should be listed here. Advanced Package Tool is a core utility of Debian. The front-end user interface application for Advanced Package Tool is aptitude which has a separate listing.
