This is regarding the official Slackware packages, packages from third parties may require additional software to run (however, most authors include in their release notes what extra software you may need or even include it with the package). In summary, there is no way to do it with pkgtool, most of the time is not necessary, and you should read the release notes if you are using third-party packages. Installing from source is another matter, but in that case, you may end up compiling also the dependencies, so read the release notes. After years of using Slackware servers, the only dependency hell I've found was when installing Perl software, until I started using the CPAN shell, which will install the modules you want along with their dependencies. 2024.10.01@08:60= NEXT= install slackpkg, this will allow me to FINALLY dl/install packages from command line as root ALWAYS WONDERED HOW THIS WAS DONE ... packages/modules to install= yt-dlp-2022.01.21-x86_64-1smt.xzm - command line dl youtube vids 2024.09.28@15:38= 1.
