Pretty easy work around. If you've been in linux for any number of years you'd 
know there are two disto package formats that suck big time. 

Firstly (as anyone knows so it goes almost without saying) rpm based systems.

 Secondly as your  eventually finding  out .deb based systems. 

Both these invariably get tangled up in dependancy messes if your trying to 
stay on a cutting edge.

Do yourself a favour and try ARCH linux (www.archlinux.org) and you'll never 
look back... mind you you'll have to get your hands alittle dirty, but hey, 
the days of  that sort of dependancy hell are gone forever.
