  1. RPM Sucks by Penguin2212 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Maybe it's just me, but RPM format seems to suck. Every time I install something through RPM, it rarely works. And if I go and update or install software from it's orginal *gz source package, it usually fails because the libraries upon which it depends are misplaced or not found. I tried to update Gtk from it's original source (Becuse the version on the Redhat website was quite out of date) and after it was installed, it still detected the old version. RPM's are a pain to deal with, bottom line.
