linyaps, an open source package format developed by UnionTech Software, is designed to manage, distribute, create sandboxes for packages, and integrate development tools, instead of using package management tools such as `deb` or `rpm`.
1. Both `deb` and `rpm` are strongly-dependent package management systems that allow complex cross dependencies (or circular dependencies) between components, which makes maintenance a matter of great expertise. A little carelessness will lead to a complete system failure that cannot be repaired.
2. Installation dependencies and running dependencies are coupled so that multiple versions can hardly coexist. Although `deb` and `rpm` have provided several solutions to solve the multi-version coexistence problem, these solutions require changes in source code and are infeasible.
4. They have insufficient reliability, no redundant recovery design, and a lack of verification mechanisms. Once the package management system fails, the system can hardly be repaired.
