Ability to install 2 or more versions at once

[SHJ]

1) do not ask questions with two identical answers in a row
2) ask user every time if multiple versions are present
3) if the same answer was given twice in a row - remember choice

The ideal solution should serve as an umbrella for all packaging tools.

You can't install multiple versions at the same time for dpkg/apt, but you can with snaps, don't know about flatpaks - talk to flatpak people.

Julian Andres Klode, you're fucking moron.

Julian Andres Klode, your comment has nothing to do with what was requested.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

The bug is about "Ability to install 2 or more versions at once", the rest was incomprehensible

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Also, the language you have chosen for that comment is inappropriate.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

The bug description states:

1) do not ask questions with two identical answers in a row
2) ask user every time if multiple versions are present
3) if the same answer was given twice in a row - remember choice

I have no idea what that means, it also has no relation to the bug title. Flatpak and snap don't ask questions, and debconf stores the answer and does not ask questions it already did.

"Ability to install 2 or more versions at once" - this means:
Ability to install 2 or more versions of programm at once
Ability to install 2 or more versions of .so at once
Ability to install 2 or more versions of kernel at once

It should be evident why title was exactly this and nothing else.

This was done for Kernels (long time ago) but not for everything else... Pretty odd decision to do just 20%.

This should have system-wide support, not just GRUB and not just Kernels.

Why apt, dpkg, flatpack, snapd are invalid here?

For reference: Ubuntu degraded to the state where they aren't able to ship fucking wallpapers (yes, not joke)

Why no longer affects flatpak snapd, dpkg?

Adolfo Jayme, you're just another moron (The ideal solution should serve as an umbrella for all packaging tools)

@skiphopjump, it's not OK to make personal attacks on other Launchpad users this way (see https://ubuntu.com/community/code-of-conduct, but also basic common courtesy). Julian already warned you (I thought rather mildly in the circumstances) that your language was inappropriate, but you've been continuing to make aggressive comments anyway.

I'm therefore suspending your Launchpad account. It can be reactivated if you commit to behaving civilly (you'll get a contact address when you next try to log in) and to retracting your attacks on individual developers here.
