"rPath's Conary is a second-generation package manager. Considering that Erik Troan, rPath's CTO and co-founder, was one of the original authors of the RPM package format, some might be tempted to view Conary as an effort to do things right the second time around - nor is that view far from wrong. In its design, Conary is a streamlined version of dpkg or RPM with Yum in which all the utilities of those package managers are combined in a single command and combined with version control to
meet the demands of a modern distribution."

Granted, universe isn't officially supported,
And you don't think that would be related to your problem?
Mixing stable with unstable (includes non-official repositories) is likely to cause trouble - no matter the OS in use.
