Thank you,

I suspect you're speaking about a default install, since regarding
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ apt is available for all supported
releases, just for 12.04 the version is < 1. EOL for 12.04 is in 2017.
For 14.04 the available version of apt already is 1.

Ok, I'll stay with apt-get, I just asked, since I noticed that on
mailing lists there are tendencies to recommend apt.

Regards,
Ralf
