Thing 1 to try: does Familiar have a way to "inject" a package (tell  
it that a package is effectively installed, although you haven't  
actually installed it - different distros call it different things,  
but it lets you install something manually and tell the package  
manager that "yeah, I have this...").

Otherwise, it very well might be OK.  Might not.  Best way to find  
out is to back up the files and try.
