[GNC] GnC 3.5 for Disco

[Adrien Monteleone]

I could be vastly off base here, but, I think that message about “selecting...instead” is because the package build info is specifying a generic name but the actual packages have specific version names as part of the file name. There is a way to fix this. (still specify the version but the package name is generic) However, I’m not well versed enough to say how to accomplish it, only that I’ve experienced projects that faced this issue and solved it, so it is possible.
