multiple versions in same channel

No...sorry...this is one of the beautifu design flaws of
RPM.  RPM
always assumes you want the latest version of a package, no
mater
what.  So in the above situation RPM itself is not able to
handle the
dependancy chain.  I know that some folks have hacked at
this with a
Yum plugin.

Current/RHN reflect this by only having the latest version
of a
package available in the channel.  I believe RHN will let
you manually
download any version and all versions are contianed in the
listAllPackages API call.
