I'd recommend staying on the tagged versions rather than master of so many 
packages, unless you're contributing to the package in question. On master 
you could get unstable work or unsatisfiable requirement conflicts as you 
saw. Most package authors are usually pretty responsive about tagging new 
releases for bugfixes or ready-for-public-consumption new features if you 
ask on github.

If you're finding a nonresponsive package author who you think may have 
abandoned a package, there are options for adopting on a fork and making 
that the new official version metadata points to.
