##
## Packages which can be installed in different versions at the same time.
##
## Packages are selected either by name, or by provides. In the later case
## the string must start with "provides:" immediately followed by the 
capability.
##
## Example:
##      kernel                          - just packages whith name 'kernel'
##      provides:multiversion(kernel)   - all packages providing 
'multiversion(kernel)'
##                                        (kenel and kmp packages should do 
this)
## Valid values:
##      Comma separated list of packages.
##
## Default value:
##      empty

works for me since then with factory-tested and using the graphical YaST2 
Software-Manager.
