Cool, thanks for the explanation.
a single application that gets bundled with all necessary dependencies including versioning
Does that mean that if I were to install Application A and Application B that both have dependency to package C version 1.2.3 I then would have package C (and all of its possible sub dependencies) twice on my disk? I don’t know how much external dependencies applications on Linux usually have but doesn’t that have the potential to waste huge amounts of disk space?

Sadly I don’t see what they could have done. I don’t think international law would have allowed them to intercept the plane even if they had wanted to. It would have been a very interesting situation tho if the plane had a problem and would have been forced to make an emergency landing in one of the three countries.
