    Originally, I tried to add the line via kate, but it would not save. i thought that kate could be used to edit system files. I suppose that I should have used nano.

        Waiting for that bubble sort to finish (up to 90 seconds!) every time I did a fresh search, got to be too much.

          No it's not a problem, and the OS won't allow you to use more than one at a time. Technically, I have five: Synaptic, Muon, apt, dpkg, and aptitude

              Very occasionally in breakage states aptitude gives different results to the others, and so can fix things when the others can't. Or at least it did the last time I needed it, several years ago.
