It interferred with my will to install the version of the software that I
want.
You did it in very idiotic way...

If you need new 3D driver because of better gaming performance ... if you
need new lame because it encodes mp3 better ... if you need new libsane
because it supports the new scanner that you have ... you are going to
face the same problems like me when I needed new binutils. But the big
problem is that persons needing these things usually don't have enough
skills to install the software on their own and then fight with the
package management system.
You use a rolling distro or add a proper repository with newer
packages. Nope, I never faced such problems, but I'm smart enough to
install software in a proper way. I consider package managers being
killer features you can only dream about being windows user.
On Windows, the user can just download the EXE, run it, click
next-next-next-finish and have it installed. There is no package
management that would try to overwrite what you have just installed.
On windows, user cannot upgrade entire system in such easy way (he
can't even install a thing in such easy way) as Linux distros let you
to do so. I recommend you to stop writing such bull. It was you, who
wanted to overwrite what you have just installed. Stop trolling.
