Description

When updating a bundle (e.g. triggered via the Web Console Plugin, https://github.com/apache/felix-dev/blob/master/webconsole/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/webconsole/internal/core/BundlesServlet.java) the following can be observed

03.12.2020 09:01:27.614 *ERROR* [FelixLogListener] org.apache.felix.http.jetty Cannot install or update bundle from /var/folders/rm/vlg2h6m16mb0f65djmnb12xr0000gq/T/install6626908868226297619.tmp (org.apache.felix.log.LogException: org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Bundle symbolic name and version are not unique: com.adobe.cq.core.wcm.components.core:2.12.3.SNAPSHOT)

This happens when you try to trigger an update a second time with the same version and BSN. Although this is clearly stated in the exception message it is unclear why this is not allowed. In general a version may look like this "1.0.0.SNAPSHOT" (recommended by bnd, https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/tree/master/maven/bnd-maven-plugin#reproducible-builds), obviously this version does not necessarily change between deployments.
IMHO the check from Felix should be removed, as also https://docs.osgi.org/javadoc/osgi.core/7.0.0/org/osgi/framework/Bundle.html#update-java.io.InputStream- does not state anything about not being allowed to update a bundle with same BSN and version.
