But if there's a bug in one of your shared libraries, used by many
apps, you have to update all the copies of the shared libraries in the
system.
Basically, this choice defeats the purpose of the shared libraries.
By the way, there is no "dependency hell" in linux, if you only
install software from official repositories. At least with Ubuntu or
OpenSuse.
