AppFS ( <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;appfs.rkeene.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;appfs.rkeene.org&#x2F;</a> ) solves this (and all other packaging and distribution problems) by dividing the namespace along DNS lines.<p>That is you can run both:<p><pre><code>     &#x2F;opt&#x2F;appfs&#x2F;linuxmint.com&#x2F;mdm&#x2F;platform&#x2F;latest&#x2F;bin&#x2F;mdm
</code></pre>
and<p><pre><code>     &#x2F;opt&#x2F;appfs&#x2F;debian.org&#x2F;mdm&#x2F;platform&#x2F;latest&#x2F;bin&#x2F;mdm
</code></pre>
They are both always accessible (in other packaging systems you would refer to them as a &quot;installed&quot; since all their files may be read).
