It's still a valid point. Its not like there is one central repository for all linux programs, there are hundreds, all with different content, different levels of quality, and different levels of compatibility with each other. Its not hard to get into alot of trouble as soon as you venture out of whatever distro specific repository you should be using for everything.

I'd dispute that. Package managers these days have very good checks for dependencies, and very good algorithms for resolving them.

If there is no solution to install a given package, then the package manager won't install it.

Where is the path that would "get you into a lot of trouble"?
