> Well, yes, that's the purpose of /usr/local. It's just an installation prefix of many possible. Installations into `/usr/local` should provide files for binaries of that prefix and installations into `/usr` (source installation or packages) should provide files for binaries in that prefix. There's no reason why an installation into `/usr/local` is breaking something and that's the reason why so many programs don't have any trouble with source installations in `/usr/local` and binary packages installed into `/usr`.
If you don't support it or don't have the resources to support it's good not great. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576386 Title: vlc system package can be broken by source installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1576386/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
