In practice installation script of an external package does --del-package before --add-package, because if it was installed before, --add-package would cause an error. Wouldn't be reasonable then to let --add-package overwrite any existing package of that name? There is no real safety, because the package is explicitly deleted anyway. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTÊPCZA QRCZAK
