...which is not that much of an issue, because with proper path/rpath handling those libraries would not conflict the vendor supplied ones (Compliant ones can't dump their stuff in /usr/lib anyway, right ?), and if they do conflict, due to some shared resources like ports or magic files/sockets somewhere, the same would happen if libbar was statically linked into fooapp. Been there, done that (this has come up in Maemo between Nokia repos and Extras, and has been acted upon, so Extras now contain even alternative versions of Qt).
