Well, I mis something in your text about Application Directories. What about
programs that depends on libraries? How do you install them by making use of
Application Directories?

The reason why I ask this is because I really like the Debian Packaging
system. When I want to install a program I just type

        apt-get install program

when this program depends on other files (libraries) these files will
also get installed. When I want to remove the program I just type :

        apt-get remove program

Simple!

But when we make use of appdirs, how do we automate the installation of other
necessary files? Is the concept of seperating libraries and program-files
still useable with Application Directories?


Just my 2.BEF ;-)
