> It's painful because this situation is entirely accidental and could be trivially solved by linking everything statically. It could and historically has been solved even without linking everything statically, it's just that Linux people have some shared delusion that a stable and consistent base system is bad, there should be no distinction between system and application, and having two copies of a library is an unforgivable sin. Consequently we get the nightmare complexity and inflexibility of the package management scheme to do things we did in DOS on a 286 with no special software at all. |
