    I mean luckily distro maintainers usually deal with it (quite a lot of work) but have any additional repos and it gets wonky if those are not in total lockstep.

    That's a Debian/Ubuntu specific issue. Repos all over the place, so yeah, you will break things eventually.

    No it isn't, any distro might have these issues if they have third party repos. openSUSE commonly has these conflicts with Packman.

    Yeah, that is true as well. I meant Debian/Ubuntu because it has the most 3rd party repos available. But yes, if you have more than one package manager, then things will most likely go south after a while as well.

    Well not two different package managers but just two repos from different people (so hard to keep deps in sync). Packman (the third party codec repo for openSUSE) is slower to update compared to official repos, which often results in a situation where a thing from Packman requires a different version of a library than stuff from official openSUSE repos. But in that case it is easy to solve (for the user) in that you'll just have to wait a bit for Packman people to figure out the situation.

    Oh, packman, I misread pacman 😁.
