I'm not sure that's what people mean by package management.
For example if a configure script has a dependency on a library... then what? It doesn't help me find and install the right version of that dependency, does it? In my experience it just says 'dependency not installed'.
- klyrs 5y agoI think it's meant as a joke, but for many of us, there's some truth to it. If you're missing a dependency, you'll need to download, configure, make, install it.

- klyrs 5y agoThat's what indicates to me that it was intended as a joke, yes.
