That's orthogonal to the issue. Even with just one package manager, how packages are created and maintained is a separate task.
So, if the pandoc package has dependencies vendored, dependency hell is avoided regardless of which package manager is used to install it.
If, however, the pandoc package has all dependencies listed as separate packages, dependency hell is created, again regardless of which package manager is used to install it.
So this is a matter of policy, not tooling.
- jhardy54 6y agoI think the difference is in the visibility of dependency hell, not the existence of it.
