Devishree: I use official Ubuntu Universe repositories, PPAs and the new
single packages published at the download page of openerp.com.

If I install the package from openerp.com download page on an Ubuntu
client machine that already have openerp-client_5-XXX installed it will
be replaced by the package openerp-client_6-xxx. But if we reflect the
new version 6 (client/server/web) in the nameing eg openerp-
client6_6-xxx instead of openerp-client_6-xxx it will be possible to
install both openerp-client and openerp-client6 at the same time.

We can use the nameing of Drupal-packages as a parallell: Drupal5 and
Drupal6 (and soon Drupal7) are separate series of Drupal versions that
can live alongside in the repositories and can be installed on the same
server. This is important in many cases for the migration work, that in
some cases can take years. The whole world can't migrate from Drupal5 to
Drupal6 at the same time nor from Drupal6 to Drupal7. I believe its the
same for OpenERP-users. There will be a lot of OpenERP5 installations
along side OpenERP6 and in the future OpenERP7. With a little different
nameing policy the life for many system administrators will be much
easier.

Xrg: Is this one client that can handle both version 5 and version 6
servers? Yes I think it would be nice with a official PPA for both
openerp5 and openerp6 packages!

Title:
  Nameing of the new openerp-client-package

Status in OpenERP GTK Client:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The 6-series of openerp-client (.deb) package have the same name as
  the 5-series, witch means thats hard to have both clients for a
  current 5 openerp-server and a new 6 - series server at the same time.

  If the new series where names openerp-client6 with the series number
  in the name i whould be possible to have both series (5 and 6)
  installed at the same time.

  I believe this is a common situation for many users for a while now.
  It takes time to make the move to the new series.
