My motivation for this PR comes from this issue here: #684

Specifically, for many prerequisites that the scripts here require, we check whether a distribution-specific package for them exists. So, for example, if I install the jq binary from source, common::check_packages jq would fail even though I'm using Ubuntu simply because I didn't install using apt.

Requiring that binaries come from specific packages causes problems when the packages that contain those binaries changes, or is different between Linux distribution. It also prevents non-mainstream, and non-Linux-based distros, from using these scripts. I think checking for binaries, directly, is much for flexible.

Hi @pswica. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

Agreed, much more flexible to check for this set of binaries rather than insist a specific package is installed and to just leave the package as a suggested way to install the binary.
