RPM Dependency Graph

    So anyone found any circular dependancies on their machine yet? You know it's only a question of how many. Whenever you have to install two (or more) RPMs at once, because you can't do them separately, in any order, you have a circular dependancy. Well done, RPM team!

    The rpm vs deb debate is an old chestnut. Let's jump a few steps ahead in the long chain of one's discoveries about operating systems. Debian is the closest thing to computer nirvana a mortal can obtain. What is computer nirvana? When you are getting things done and not muttering "motherfucker" all day.
