+<PRE>
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Wherever this can be done, it usually is. Multiple versions of
+</I>&gt;<i> libraries can coexist in Linux, so if the new version requires new
+</I>&gt;<i> libraries, there's no conflict.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The dependencies that cause problems are, for example, the situation
+</I>&gt;<i> where you can only have one of a certain service provider and its users
+</I>&gt;<i> are bound to it by an API which changes between the release version and
+</I>&gt;<i> the new version you want to install. For example, if A, B, C, D, E all
+</I>&gt;<i> use F, and the new version of C has been changed to use the
+</I>&gt;<i> (incompatible) API of the new version of F, you'd have to install all 6.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+So, in terms of space used for this, if you had to install all 6, would
+this tax the system so much and risk filling up the hardrive needlessly.
+
+If not, would this cause your installation to misbehave.
+
+It not, if a rollback were done, could all 6 as well as the new F be
+removed and the old version restored?
+
+If this is possible, would this have an impact on devs preparing
+Backport versions with rollbacks?
