the question does not seem to have much sense to me...

Do you mean if you can install two versions of a same program?

Yes, exactly.

Yes, and no. What program did you have in mind?

I don't have exact sw in my mind. It's just theoretical question.
On what depends if the pacman can install differents version of sw ?

Well, with pacman there is a "conflict" when two pkgs try to install files with the same name to the same location. Secondly, if you have two version of a pkg both called php for example then pacman can only have one pkg named php installed a time. You can recreate the one pkg as php4 for example but the files of php and php4 will still conflict. Therefore you will have to alter the installation location for the files within php4.

It's very simple but without an example of your own it doesn't make much sense
