apt isn't broken. Neither is RPM provided you put a decent package manager in
front of it.
As a Linux user since Slackware 1.1 I know very well that on my list of things
that are broker in the Linux/GNU system apt and tools like it are near the
bottom of the top 20.
There are far more important things that need fixing.
Canonical would go up in my estimation if they actually deployed their resources
sorting out a few of the QC issues that many of my Linux friends have been
bitching about in the past 3-4 releases then I'm sure they'd be happy.

Ubuntu & 'apt-get' are not the answer to Life, The Universe & Everything which
is of course, "42" or is it 1.618?

It relies on someone else's repository and config.
The real reason is because even the best of those, while great when they work,
are hell+ when they don't.
Slackware is the only one that doesn't bork when you install things from source,
reconfigure your kernel, change a security setting, or any of a dozen other
things that break RPM, apt, etc.
Its also by far the easiest to roll your own packages, thereby avoiding half the
problems in the first place.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
