Great idea to create a bloody mess: one adds a new package, then this
package is snatched but it requires another package which is not on
the computer or the newer version of the package which is already
there and in turn ... and all this is while one is traveling with no
or lousy internet connection and all this just to save a fistful of
gigs not sufficient even for  one HD movie
