- What is the difference between dpkg or rpm and apt or dnf?
dpkg (Debian) and rpm (Red Hat) install, remove and inspect single package files, but do not fetch dependencies. apt and dnf sit on top: they download from repositories and resolve dependencies automatically, calling dpkg or rpm to do the actual installation.
