Abstract
A package deployment manager on an administrative system deploys a dependent software package to a plurality of target nodes. The package deployment manager also identifies one or more dependencies of the dependent software package. For each dependency that is identified, the package deployment manager determines which of the plurality of target nodes already have the dependency installed, and deploys the dependency only to the target nodes that do not already have the dependency installed.
