I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Do you actually ask for multiple 
versions of a single package to be installed simultaneously? If that's the 
case, I can say no right away ;-)

The other thing I sense you might have on your mind is to remove from update 
transaction those packages that are held back by some requirements and 
continue with the transaction. Is that correct?
