In that case blocking just old versions is wrong, since if your |
| 15 |
installed version is broken and you try to reinstall, you'll need to |
| 16 |
uninstall first too. |

(Incidentally, there's a bug in libtool that causes it to randomly link |
| 19 |
to stuff on / if you try to create an executable that links to both a |
| 20 |
built library and an installed library. It's probably fairly common, |
| 21 |
but people won't necessarily notice.) |
