RE: packaging system

[Søren Hauberg]

Hi,
I'm really no expert on the subject of packaging systems, but it seems 
to me that the largest problem with creating such systems, is to what 
extend dependencies should be handled.

*) If package A depends on package B, should the package system check of 
package B is installed, and handle the situation of it is not?
*) If the installed package A depends on the installed package B, and 
the user chooses to uninstall package B, should the package system check 
and handle this situation?
*) If package A depends on the external library L in order to run, 
should the package system check that L is installed on the system?
*) ... (did I forget something?)
