Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software

In linux it says “This program won’t install because it needs these dependancies first. We won’t help you install them. You figure it out.”

In Linux, the package manager will ask you if you want to install the dependencies. You don’t have to install them manually unless you’re compiling the program from source.

Well…it didn’t. It told me hardinfo would need 3 dependancies. Then said it wasn’t going to install them.
It listed the 3 dependancies it needed, but said they will not be installed.
