The privileges are handled by PolicyKit +so the client application doesn't need to run as root. Furthermore aptd is +started by D-Bus activation only when an user calls a method. +.SH OPTIONS +.IP "-d, --debug" +Show additional information on the command line. +.IP "-h, --help" +Show information about the usage of the command. +.IP "-r, --replace" +Replace another aptd instance if it is running. +.IP "-p PROFILE_FILE" +Write profiling data to +.I PROFILE_FILE +using Python's profiler. This is only of use to developers. +.IP "-t, --disable-timeout" +Do not shutdown the daemon after an idle time. +.IP "--dummy" +Instead of applying the changes to the system only show a progress. This option is only usable for developers to locate problems in client applications. +.SH FILES +.TP +.I /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20dbus +Adds a small post update hook which will emit the org.debian.apt.CacheChanged signal on the system D-Bus to indicate that the cache has been changed and a possible running aptd instance should reloade its internal cache. +.TP +.I /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.debian.apt.policy +The PolicyKit definitions of the privileges used by aptdaemon, e.g. to install packages.
