- ↑ In case there are unsatisfied dependencies for package_file, yum will try to get and install it from known repositores.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Usually it is not necessary to download packages manually and install them. Use apt-cache search name to search for package in configured repositories and apt-get install package to install package and all it's dependencies
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 In rpm world, a dependency can be a package name, a file, or a special atom like
perl(IO::Zlib)for a perl module. In deb world, this can be either real or virtual package name.
