I can tell why I did: apt-get install package instead of:-

  • - find dependencies
  • - download dependencies
  • - compile dependencies
  • - download package
  • - compile package
  • - find out how to configure it
  • - realise one dependency needs a special option
  • - compile dependencies again
  • - compile package again
  • - etc...
