Does apt allow you to have multiple packages with the same name from different repositories? I don't see how it solves this issue otherwise.

- paulddraper 10y agoNo, it does not. But I don't use the vast majority of apt repos. I use a handful of well-curated ones with high-quality software, plus a handful for one-off packages. In contrast, there's basically no limit to how much debris you can upload to npm.
