In that case blocking just old versions is wrong, since if your
installed version is broken and you try to reinstall, you'll need to
uninstall first too.
(Incidentally, there's a bug in libtool that causes it to randomly link
to stuff on / if you try to create an executable that links to both a
built library and an installed library. It's probably fairly common,
but people won't necessarily notice.)
