Honest question: have you seen how the Perl world handles this stuff? Now that I've mostly moved over to Python, the Perl experience (overall package mgmt) seems much, much better.

Note, it doesn't feel terrible in Python land, to me at least. But it was almost a joy working with Perl's packaging system.

No. Does it build a dependency graph and output your the best path to upgrades ?

It does build a dependency graph...But I'm not sure what you mean by 'best' path to upgrade.

[sametmax]

Choosing the combination of the most up to date compatible lib versions, or tell you can't update and let you know the conflict source.

[Diederich]

That makes sense.

That's been the default behaviour of Perl package managers for a long, long time now.
