Why is it that the required files and libraries are not distributed with the package?
Not necessary.
Can any arrangement be made for the same?
The original problem is already solved using automatic dependency resolution (apt, yum ...)
Like... When s/w s are d/l ed one may not be able to install it (errors like ncurses are missing and all)
there is a different way to do it.
User end people find it very very difficult... They hate searching net for every single thing jus to install one single package.
May be they have been using old stuff. Show them debian etch.
I have been hearing this for a thousand times..
I'm sure not these days.
Is it just about the size consumption or is there any other concern??
Could be one of the concerns. Why would every program install a library which is already installed?
