[edit] Windows Add/Remove Programs Control a package manager?

Come on, is there anyone who really considers the Windows Add/Remove Programs Control a package manager? I think it shouldn't be listed as such. --Unsound 02:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I'm removing it now. --Crashie 20:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] As an ex-user of GNU/Linux I demand one for Linux distros

Ever had your system broken because of weird unknown errors of missing libs or components in the middle of an emerge? Or ever had a crash in the middle of an apt-get upgrade? Ever used rpm? Ever had all hell break loose because of an soname change? (e.g. my horrible experience with libexapt.so.1 and Gentoo which a lot of people experienced). Well I think we need a section for those as well.

You "demand"? That's a good way to make people ignore you. -- intgr [talk] 09:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, unless I'm mistaken, this article pretty much IS for Unix and *n?xes in the first place - every other popular system got their own article - and just about everything else is written Unix-centric (library names, version number explanations, etc.). -- Keilaron (talk) 15:00, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Internet access hell

In some distros, you need install new packages to configure Internet access, but you need Internet access to download the packages. This is a circular hell.--Mac (talk) 22:36, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I suggest removing this section since it has nothing to do with dependencies, it's a matter of the installation process. Polaroit (talk) 12:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
