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

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

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

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