WTF - and *that* is the reason that you either use packages or handbuilt 
stuff and even if you build from sources you should lern how to wrap it 
in packages

how do you imagine the package management to know anything about "the 
manual install" - it's a database which keeps track about installed 
files, folders and permissions and if you collide with manual stuff and 
package files you are asking for troubles from the very begin

to say it clear:

when ever you decide to switch from packages to self compiled or in the 
other direction you have first to cleanup and remove any existing fragment

and that's why when you have problems with distribution packages the 
upstream mailing list and manual magngle around instead consult your 
distribution channels is wrong
