Several runtime packages of the same library can coexist easily, given that all installed packages contain the library with a different soname. The soname is what the linker uses to find out which library to link to. It's a little harder to make different versions of the development environment for the same library to coexist, but it's doable. - ajk, catching up with the mail backlog
