I haven't yet tried pkgin. But here's my question: One thing apt-get
does very well is it doesn't blow up your existing installs if
it can't completely update everything that needs to be updated
to install the application you want. That is, it stages everything
and makes sure it has all the pieces before it touches the installed
base.
Does pkgin do that?
