The person you are replying to is confused about what an APT is. Looks like they think it is a package installed with `apt get`.

After reading it again, you may indeed be right. I didn't see it the first time around. My bad.

Still, "installing APTs" as a synonym for installing packages with apt? I guess I would have noticed it, if it had been "installing DEBs".

Also, using SELinux or AppArmor to disable the ability to install packages with apt is a new thing to me. But I have to admit that I'm not an expert at either.

FYI: APT = Advanced Persistent Threat
