Um...apt (and emerge, ports, rpm, everything) can only manage the
packages it has installed; if you install outside the package management
system, the software will work just fine, but (apt, emerge, etc) won't
be able to do any of it for you.
If somebody managed to explode apt by installing an unrelated piece of
software from source, they did something really dumb.
