Dependencies

Software dependencies is if a software needs another software in order to be run, installed or built. To reduce complexity of software that you need to installed, software is grouped into packages like firefox, skype, thunderbird and the like. Dependencies will typically hit you in the following cases:

• when running a program, a file/package is missing
• when installing a program, a file/package is missing
• when compiling a program, file/package is missing

This page lists dependency problems and solutions to them. Note that your individual problem may require a different solution, however, this is a starting point.
