management. Other commands such as dselect provide
package-management services which are more convenient to end users, but which are
ultimately based on dpkg. The alien command is also
available to enable the installation of Red Hat, Stampede and Slackware

package managers provided by other distributions, dpkg can be used
to remove files associated with packages that are no longer needed.
