There is, you can specify that a package conflicts with another package, which would cause the conflicting package to be removed before the desired package is installed. The problem here is that the deluge-torrent.org package is called "deluge-torrent", and so is the Ubuntu package. So if deluge-torrent-common conflicted with deluge-torrent, there would be a problem. > I'm not a package maintainer, but I've seen a lot of package versions having ~ubuntu at the end, maybe that would help in checking and replacing? Version numbers only decide which version of a package is installed/removed. The Ubuntu packages could add a conflict with all the non-Ubuntu versions, but there are a lot of them, and more all the time. If you want the package management tool to behave differently based on the ~ubuntu in the version, you'd probably have to get it changed in the "apt" package. Given all the possibilities for versions and packages that a user could have installed, I don't see that happening, but feel free to file a bug on the apt package requesting it.
