Andreas,
how about leaving all these package conflicts and quarrels (that already
waste enough time of thousands of developers) behind and just use
0install, which is a /distributed/ package management system (supporting
all POSIX + Windows with one and only one package).
http://0install.net/0install-2.0.html
Or directly from git.
https://github.com/0install/0install
Or install 0install from the package repositories of (most) distros.
There are many examples on the webpage. As an example, see
https://github.com/ryppl/boost-zero
For common questions and answers of a dialogue with a package manager
research group (Mancoosi), see:

Kind regards,
Jan
