no it's not just a bugfix when you start mixing random binaries or self 
compiled stuff with distribution binaries

maybe you guys inform yourself how a linux distribution works - on 
Fedoar at example every Fedoar releaae builds everything from scratch 
with the same GCC, glibc and tons of other libraries which differ 
largely between distro releases

what you dream about is flatpak - sorry, one of my main reasons 
switching to linux was a central pakcage management
