Why are there different versions of the same package installed on a system?

Issue

• When listing the packages installed on a system, it appears that multiple versions of the same package are installed:

  [root@system1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep PackageName-
  PackageName-7.0.2.0-Linux_GENERIC.noarch
  PackageName-7.0.7.0-Linux_GENERIC.noarch
  [root@system1 ~]# 
  

  The package has been installed using rpm -ivh --force PackageName-7.0.7.0-Linux_GENERIC.
