True. It's the dependencies of dependencies where the tricky part starts.

Dependencies almost always are present in distro repos. What's tricky?

If you need the python header files, depending on your distro, you may need to install python3-dev, python3-devel, python3, or some other variation on the name. For a novice, this might not always be obvious and they might not know things like apt-file are helpful for figuring it out.

Huh. Shouldn't apt install header dependencies too? I'm using system where every package comes with headers, so I don't install headers separately.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Debian and RedHat based distros typically do not bundle them together. The have separate -dev and -devel packages for headers.
