NAME

       AptPkg::System - APT system abstraction class

SYNOPSIS

       use AptPkg::System;

DESCRIPTION

       The AptPkg::System module provides an interface to APT's system abstraction mechanism.

   AptPkg::System
       The AptPkg::System package implements the APT pkgSystem class.

       An instance of the AptPkg::System class appropriate for the particular back-end packaging system (deb, rpm, etc.) may be fetched using the
       system method from AptPkg::Config.

       A global instance of the libapt-pkg _system instance is provided as $AptPkg::System::_system, and may be imported.

       The following methods are implemented:

       label
	   Return the description of the packaging system, for example:

	       Debian dpkg interface

	   for Debian systems.

       lock
	   Lock the packaging system.

       unlock(QUIET)
	   Unlock the packaging system, ignoring errors if QUIET is non-zero.

       versioning
	   Return an instance of the AptPkg::Version class for this system.
