Comment 34 for bug 1794589

I am maintaining Ubuntu installations here at University of Helsinki, where I try to provide a single environment for as many users as possible, where the students and researchers are also developers, and can't always be given administrator rights. Our students need nodejs for their studies, but the same students need libssl-dev for other software. On the same Ubuntu installations. So I have a use case where I can't just switch package collections based on what is needed just right now. Since I need a fix for this by Monday, I need to figure out a way around this, but I'd appreciate if "just change your package collection" would not be considered as an adequate solution to this kind of problem in the future.
