Having a container without a package manager sounds like the worst possible thing to add to an already poorly implemented solution. In reality, containers, regardless of what they're running, should be treated as what they are, GNU/Linux installs. Each one should be self sufficient from the host system, so that they can be properly updated using a package manager. Each container should, realistically, be a self contained system. -- John M.
