Uninstall system packages before installing to /usr/local?

[nilsnolde]

I just had an issue with 2 installations of autotools when installing more stuff with vcpkg: microsoft/vcpkg#33082. Apparently vcpkg or aclocal looks for /usr/local/share/aclocal to get its packages.

I'm aware that this is not a core manylinux issue, after all it works when not tinkering inside the container. For many reasons it's just so convenient to fork and install the C++ dependencies when building Python bindings to C++ projects.

Is it feasible to remove the system packages in the docker image before you install updated versions to /usr/local?
