Gods you're a weenie. You whine and cry that it doesn't work, because of broken dependencies, missing packages and the like... then you cry that someone has provided a large list of just those things, to help fix what only you can apparently manage to screw up in the first place.

Since obviously the only thing that would ever let you even pretend to have an actual interest in Linux is someone providing you with a repository that included all versions of all applications, but consuming zero bytes in the process, why don't you go sit off in a corner somewhere and wait, while the big boys and girls get on with living in the real world, something you're obviously not equipped for?

Counting to zero is pretty easy, actually. Counting *your* failings would require the combined computing power of the planet.

Release often, release good, don't worry that DFS can't cope with even the simplest things... everyone else can.

You know, a lot of people have trouble setting the clocks on their vcrs, hence the term "12 o'clock flasher" to mean someone technically challenged. You, however, are the only one I've encountered who has the software equivalent of problems pressing "play". Neither vcr makers nor software developers are going to spend much time trying to overcome that; dumbing things down generally ceases to be effective once you've made it easy enough for the average garden slug to manage; there's no benefit it continuing the process until *you* can manage it.
