In Ubuntu repository, when an application or library depend on some others, installing via apt-get will automatically download and install the dependencies first. Does this way install from binary installation files such as .deb?When install an application or library by building their source code, ./configure will tell which dependencies are missing and I will manually install them first.When install an application from running its .deb file downloaded from websites such as Ubuntu ppa, I don't remember I have to handle dependencies. Does a .deb file contain the dependencies in its content, or does it automatically download and install the dependencies?
How do binary installation files handle dependency?
