[Bug 653381] Re: ability to install packages with old versions

[Fritz Heinrichmeyer]

After clicking on a downloaded .deb file, softwarecenter denied to
upgrade tvbrowser 3.02beta to 3.02 (tvbrowser: nice tv guide in java).
One cannot predict all braindead kinds of software version names, so
users should have a choice to install anyway.

This is a missing feature and at least regarding tvbrowser  a bug.
