One aspect: They don't have a package database that's a collection of |

bash scripts that have to be routinely executed. |

So their user-side interface can handle this "Can't satisfy dependency" |
| 13 |
situation much more quickly. ( I have no recollection of apt taking |
| 14 |
more than a few seconds to work out what it needs to do, or throwing an |
| 15 |
error ) |
