There are two possible (!) workarounds:
1. Uninstall nmap and reinstall the dependencies manually afterwars.

2. Install nmap from code manually to a different location with
"--prefix=" added to the make install command.

Vielen Dank vinzn. I looked in the automade Makefile and found that the Nmap developers had already considered this possibility: prefix was configured as /usr/local .

The packaged nmap is installed in /usr/bin/nmap and so it was necessary only to `make install` and the SVN Nmap was installed to /usr/local/bin/nmap

Thanks again for your help.
