Like what the old software centre did before Xenial, it showed a notice
that the same software is already installed but with a different version
(older or newer). This notice could be shown in the Details section of
gnome-software, like the notice that is shown when installing an
unconfined snap.
And if a third-party software already exists in the repositories
(installed or not), it advised the user to install the one in the
repositories (safer) instead of the third-party one, and showed both
versions.
** Summary changed:
- Show already-installed package version when installing a deb file
+ Show already-installed package version when installing a third-party one
** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => New

Title:
Show already-installed package version when installing a third-party
one
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When installing a deb file, gnome-software should show the already-
installed version if an older or newer version of the package was
already installed.
It should also apply to packages to be installed from repositories
(not sure if this already works).
