I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Do you actually ask for multiple versions of a single package to be installed simultaneously? If that's the case, I can say no right away ;-) The other thing I sense you might have on your mind is to remove from update transaction those packages that are held back by some requirements and continue with the transaction. Is that correct? Thanks Jan -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
