apt-get finds on the internet the latest version of the package
to be installed and finds all the dependencies and puts it in the menu.
You don't need to do much. Just watch in amazement.

Maybe some day:
# apt-get install wxEuphoria

Then it would install Euphoria and wxeu.so and all that
and then there would be no more problems with Ubuntu and Debian.

Ubuntu also seems to regularly check for updates of everything.

apt-get has a cool wrapper: Synaptic Package Manager
