This is completely out of topic but you are asking the installation of new packages to be without side effects, I would say this is similar to functional programming, and in fact there is a software development model, and a linux distribution, called nixos, that are centered on purely functional package *deployment*. I did not have the time to understand it very well, but it's on my TODO list. http://nixos.org/nixos/ Vincenzo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
