7137 "The Debian packaging system has a large amount of information associated "
7138 "with each package to help assure that it integrates cleanly and easily into "
7139 "the system. The most prominent of its features is the dependency system."
7142 #. type: Content of: <book><chapter><section><para>
7145 "The dependency system allows individual programs to make use of shared "
7146 "elements in the system such as libraries. It simplifies placing infrequently "
7147 "used portions of a program in separate packages to reduce the number of "
7148 "things the average user is required to install. Also, it allows for choices "
7149 "in mail transport agents, X servers and so on."
7152 #. type: Content of: <book><chapter><section><para>
7155 "The first step to understanding the dependency system is to grasp the "
7156 "concept of a simple dependency. The meaning of a simple dependency is that a "
7157 "package requires another package to be installed at the same time to work "
7161 #. type: Content of: <book><chapter><section><para>
7164 "For instance, mailcrypt is an emacs extension that aids in encrypting email "
7165 "with GPG. Without GPGP installed mailcrypt is useless, so mailcrypt has a "
7166 "simple dependency on GPG. Also, because it is an emacs extension it has a "
7167 "simple dependency on emacs, without emacs it is completely useless."
7170 #. type: Content of: <book><chapter><section><para>
7173 "The other important dependency to understand is a conflicting dependency. It "
7174 "means that a package, when installed with another package, will not work and "
7175 "may possibly be extremely harmful to the system. As an example consider a "
7176 "mail transport agent such as sendmail, exim or qmail. It is not possible to "
7177 "have two mail transport agents installed because both need to listen to the "
7178 "network to receive mail. Attempting to install two will seriously damage the "
7179 "system so all mail transport agents have a conflicting dependency with all "
7180 "other mail transport agents."
7183 #. type: Content of: <book><chapter><section><para>
7186 "As an added complication there is the possibility for a package to pretend "
7187 "to be another package. Consider that exim and sendmail for many intents are "
7188 "identical, they both deliver mail and understand a common interface. Hence, "
7189 "the package system has a way for them to declare that they are both mail-"
7190 "transport-agents. So, exim and sendmail both declare that they provide a "
7191 "mail-transport-agent and other packages that need a mail transport agent "
7192 "depend on mail-transport-agent. This can add a great deal of confusion when "

7909 "to use APT to generate a list of packages that are required and then fetch "
7910 "them onto the disc using another machine with good connectivity. It is even "
7911 "possible to use another Debian machine with APT or to use a completely "
