This is a generic issue that deserves at least some ranting, although
not particularly at you.  As long as the distro requires the use of a
repository that  by policy excludes things that almost everyone needs
we are pretty much forced to use 3rd party repositories that almost by
definition are uncoordinated in a way that makes their interaction
unpredictable and any defensive configuration measures likely to fail.
  I don't see any possibility of changing this, so what else is there
to do but rant?
