In that case blocking just old versions is wrong, since if your installed version is broken and you try to reinstall, you'll need to uninstall first too. (Incidentally, there's a bug in libtool that causes it to randomly link to stuff on / if you try to create an executable that links to both a built library and an installed library. It's probably fairly common, but people won't necessarily notice.) -- Ciaran McCreesh
