If you update ubuntu or arch and something breaks, you have to look at `dpkg.log` or `pacman.log` to see what updated, and then you might need to grab an old package from the archive and manually install it.

This intrinsically doesn't work because dependencies are globally namespaced. You can't have every version of a package installed simultaneously. In Debian, this is not remotely guaranteed. In Nix, it is.
