Depends - what version of Debian are you running? I'm guessing it's
not Debian stable. Debian testing is less likely to break from
"apt-get"ing a file or update. Debian unstable does have a better
chance of a dependancy problem but (knock on wood) I haven't had much
trouble with running Debian unstable for the past 9 months. Prior to
that I used either Red Hat or Mandrake, and while urpmi was okay in
Mandrake it was no apt-get.

I will now step back and pray that I didn't start a distro flame war
which I would expect to be the FC/RH/MDK folks telling me I'm wrong
and things are much better now. ;)
