- dheera 4y agoThis specifically isn't an issue of trusting them with my system, it's that a shell script can give a shit all over a system without a good way to undo it, even if it was well-intentioned. Package managers are modern technology, they exist because they can track what files were placed where, and can remove them cleanly when given an uninstall command.
