This is not just a libsolv issue; the entirety of Haiku's package management system assumes that you cannot install two versions of the same package. We need to keep the...

Most of this process will be automated; i.e. there are some 20 recipes which depended on FFmpeg but they required only a rebuild after the ABI break. I don't want...

Then we should just change policy to add the major version to the package name when bumping without rebuilding all dependents.

Does it work (i.e. generally not crash)? We can work out the locking better later.
