Don't you guys ever update Linux?
If you had, you would have posted about a major fault in the updating system instead of wondering off-topic so often. Geesh!
The system just dies when things like dependencies can't be resolved and for other reasons. Then we have to, one by one, figure out which of maybe 147 files in the list is the culprit, which isn't always obvious. This is not a comfortable experience and doesn't do Linux any favours.
Within the last week, Firefox had an update with about 5-6 files released that didn't install. I just guessed and unchecked all other files but one, then installed the one. In the end it worked, but it was the first time I did it that way.
Most of the time, though, a dependency just stops the update process dead and we're sitting there like a lame duck scratching our heads. The experience should be able to let us skip typical update problems much better than it does today.
