Description

If there is a repository that is already installed and the version
is GREATER than the one trying to install, we must fail (until we can support that via Patch Upgrades)

For example:

1. Install 2.3.0.0
2. Register and Install 2.5.0.0 (with or without package-version; it gets computed correctly)
3. Register 2.4 (without package-version)

Installation of 2.4 will fail because the way agents invoke installation is to
install by name. if the package-version is not known, then the 'newest' is ALWAYS installed.
In this case, that would be 2.5.0.0. 2.4 is never picked up as the correct repository.
