All about package
management
What’s in a package?
all programs are distributed as software
package files
Difference
Ubuntu : only contain the program itself
Windows : include the program and various
system files
Important
everything in a typical Ubuntu installation
originally came out of package
All about package
management
APT and dpkg
Advanced Package Tool(APT)
works at a higher level keeping track of what
packages are installed
very clever
intelligent and efficient software updates
Debian Package system(dpkg)
works at a basic level doing the hard work of
actually installing and removing packages
All about package
management
Software repositories
Ubuntu departs most radically from how
Windows handles software management
Repositories
large stores of package
located online, but CD/DVDs, USB
Personal Package Archive(PPA)
to install cutting-edge software

Dependency management
APT’s job is to take care of dependencies,
and it does so automatically and largely
invisibly
uninstall some software that’s depended
upon by other software
reverse dependencies
