Comment 7 for bug 1041819

I have also that problem. Looks like a kind of stupid. I'd rather just check presence of the file instead of option "--version" test. We can't make the system completely fool-proof by cross-checking dependencies from each application but for sure we'll introduce numbers of bugs like this. I'd assume, that package manager will do the trick for us. And if file exists in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin - user should not touch it. If does - it is his/her solely responsibility if something gets wrong.
