    Let me tell you about Bumblebee and their issue #123, though that one’s even worse seeing as installing system packages are done as root.

    (Their install/update commands included rm -rf /usr /lib/nvidia-current/xorg/xorg)

    Huh, did it really do that? I remember installing steam for Linux as soon as beta was available but never had this happen to me

      It explains in the GitHub link.

      There was a line of code:rm -rf “$STEAMROOT/”*

      If you remove the definition of $STEAMROOT, then it appears to be interpreted as rm -rf /

      That was a bug in APT. Iirc, it thought that every package was conflicting with Steam.
