If I understand correctly, the aptitude method from this list is not supported by newer FAI version?

          new SelectAttribute(
            _('Install method'), _('Install method to use for this package list'),
            'FAIinstallMethod', TRUE,
            ['install', 'ninstall', 'remove',
              'dselect-upgrade', 'taskinst', 'taskrm',
              'hold', 'clean', 'aptitude', 'aptitude-r',
              'pending', 'dpkgc', 'yumi'],
            'aptitude'
          ),

@jswaelens Would you have a documentation reference as to which installation method still works, and which one should be the default?

Hello @cchilliet

Yes "aptitude" can still be used if installed in the NFSROOT but it's not by default in FAI NFSROOT configuration

I can give the default class that are written as example if it can help but I suggest to only use "install" as default because it works in my latest test.

As documentation I see only https://fai-project.org/fai-guide/#_a_id_packageconfig_a_software_package_configuration
