There are a lot of problems about linux packaging, like why they dont have a single MSI (this is Microsoft Windows Installer which is having the collection of all the dependencies file in one .msi package) in which all of its dependencies are collected and they just ship them with their installation package. So I want to tell the benefits of linux packaging system.
1. Linux is the world best shared library (dynamic link Library DLL) system: Linux have one of the best shared library system, even you can get more version of same library.
2. linux automatic dependencies system is good: Dependencies are the third party software that are installed to support another software. In Windows when you installed any updation for software then in windows this new DLL overwrite the old DLL, and this creates the registry corrupt. But in linux it save the new DLLs in a new directory under file system (/usr/local/..). And we can switch in between new and old DLLs as needed.
In Linux if the linux is installed properly, then the possibility to get dependencies files will be more. So if any new person is installing linux first time then he/she must choose its full version.

linux may be the worlds best shared library system : but it sux a lot for any new application search for new libraries on net.
wastes a lot of time. on the other hand on windows we have a windows installer no need to do anything just double click and rest.
