It's not annoying.  On the contrary, it's very useful to know that there might 
be broken packages out there in case someone else runs into it.  For what it's 
worth, I have had problems with Ubuntu packages in the past, though my issues 
were related to pdb2gmx.  It is for this reason that, to this day, I always 
install Gromacs myself from source.
