The problem can't be solved technically. It's a human problem after all and it's amplified by the experimentalism in this community. I think the best we can do is to acknowledge its existence, which places us way ahead of mainstream programming communities. We don't pretend that type X in lib-0.1.0 is the same as type X in lib-0.2.0. What we need to work on is the ability to actually combine multiple versions of the same package conveniently, i.e. we shouldn't view this combination as an error.
