Dependency packages usually contain some files and programs needed by the other packages - for example, a word-processing package may depend on a printing package being installed in order to be able to print documents.

There are thousands of programs available to install on Xubuntu. These programs are stored in software repositories and are made freely available for all Xubuntu users. This makes it very easy to install new programs, and it is also very secure because each program you install is built specially for Xubuntu and checked before it is allowed into the repositories.
