First off before I boo package dependencies, I would like to boo myself for not booing something yesterday. You are probably thinking wait, he did not boo Saturday or Sunday either, that is because they are weekends. I don't boo on weekends.
Alright on to todays boo. BOO package dependencies. For all those who have worked with certain UNIX platforms and install software on them, you would understand what a pain it is to do so. Especially when you have to do what I call the dependency dance. The dependency dance is when it keeps telling you that a specific package is required for install and you install it and there is yet another one it tells you it needs. This is crap-lousy and straight up ridiculous. Why cant all Linux and UNIX platforms have apt-get?
Boo Package dependencies!
What's really hurtful is when you get the dependency dance worked out only to have someone blow up your box a short time later. Then you have to start all over again.
