Hello Folks, Some little time ago I made a jump from another distro into Debian. When I made that jump I took with me a few proprietary applications that I make a lot of use of. One in particular is causing me a bit of a headache - Master PDF Editor by Code Industry: https://code-industry.net/free-pdf-editor/ Master PDF Editor is now well into version 5, but when it transitioned from v4 to v5 it left a lot of its functionality (in the no cost version) behind. So, I'd always kept a copy of the old v4 rpm to hand and installed alongside v5 in my old distro. Version 4 has long since become unavailable, but I was able to make good use of alien to magic my v4 rpm into a v4 deb. BUT, now I can not install both v4 and v5 alongside one another. When I install v4, v5 is removed; when I install v5, v4 is removed. This wasn't a problem under the old distro. Each version is installed into its own directory, either: /opt/master-pdf-editor-4 or /opt/master-pdf-editor-5. I tried to force it with the following, but... $ sudo apt install ./master-pdf-editor-4.3.89_qt5.x86_64.deb ./master-pdf-editor-5.7.08-qt5_included.x86_64.deb Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Note, selecting 'master-pdf-editor' instead of './master-pdf-editor-4.3.89_qt5.x86_64.deb' Note, selecting 'master-pdf-editor' instead of './master-pdf-editor-5.7.08-qt5_included.x86_64.deb' master-pdf-editor is already the newest version (4.3.89-2). The following packages will be upgraded: master-pdf-editor 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/28.4 MB of archives. After this operation, 64.8 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Abort. Is there any method to allow v4 and v5 to be both installed together? Thanks Morgan
