Abstract

See full text

A package manager that determines circular dependencies in a list of software packages to be installed on a client computer and resolves those circular dependencies so that the list of software packages can be installed is described. The package manager receives a list of software packages along with information regarding the dependencies of the software packages. The package manager generates a directed graph of the software packages based on the dependency information. Using the directed graph, the package manager determines strongly coupled components to collect and install, where each strongly coupled component includes a set of dependent components. The package manager further installs these strongly coupled components.
