Before mult-signature support, the process of marking an app as installed in the `InstalledAppProvider` didn't have any side effects beyond its own table. Now, it is also responsible for calculating the `suggestedVersionCode` of the associated app as well. This means old tests around suggested versions no longer work. This is because they would insert an App, and set the `Cols.SUGGESTED_VERSION_CODE` using a `ContentValues`. This was then overwritten by the `InstalledAppProvider` asking for the real calculation for suggested versions. That is - it would check for relevant apks and figure out which was best. To make the old tests correct, they need: * To be able to "install" apps with the correct signature. * To insert the relevant apks into the database, not just depend on the presence of an `app`.

FAQ
- Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?
Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar to what Google Play does.
- Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a privileged system app?
This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the Privileged Extension is the one that should be placed in the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip, or alternatively F-Droid can install it as a system app using root.
