Good and useful point. I've used this with Ubuntu when Thunderbird grew a bug (actually, it was a library bug, but the effect was the same). I want kernel updates to install. I keep hoping that the bug will be fixed so I need to test each one. But I don't wish to accidentally test them :-) Unfortunately, I've left that fix in the Ubuntu installation because it is so awkward to test. Unlike kernels, most other packages expect only one version to be installed at a time. (I don't count python2 and python3 to be "the same package" in this sense.) --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
