anna uses a retriever to download udebs, checks their consistency, and calls udpkg to install them. It can be called as follows: anna Use the given retriever, get the list of all udebs it can retrieve, work out which to install by default, prompt the user for which to install, and install all selected. anna default Same as above, except that the retriever is stored as the default retriever to use. anna install Uses the default retriever to get the specified udebs and installs them. Dependencies will automatically be installed too. Note that this still needs a debconf frontend to be running, so use of the anna-install command in debian-installer-utils is better for command-line use.
