hello, when we install any package (like in ubuntu) ,at end the terminal shows "reading database" . the idea i got by my friend is that package manager uses this database (like .deb or rpm). but my question is : everything in linux is a file so it(database or files that it contains) must be placed somewhere in the filesystem.what is the difference if i say that package manager accesses nothing but the filesystem
Directory is also a file ( special ) , but we seldom call it a file. Thanks ( obviously a part of it) and database of a system(
computer ) is nothing but the filesystem (part of it ) itself ? i mean: what differs between these two that imposes us to name them differently?
