You have a lucky life but one of those few things more annoying is
updating a package and discovering it causes several others to fail.
More annoying still is not discovering - until some overnight run
or daemon fails.  pkg-get correctly expects that packages are of a
compatible version and does so by updating to the current state,
true there may be other workable states but none are known and
checked.

Where did you get the idea that packages are and 100% modular,
interchangeable and compatible between versions?
