Thanks. The old package does not have a CFBundleID in its Info.plist,
I've found deleting the CFBundleID from the new packages give us the
behavior that any package will 'upgrade' any other. I think this is
the best way to go, even if it is a hack.

So you can either repackage the old software into a package with a
unique name/CFBundleID, or you can adjust the version numbers.

I've inherited a binary that shipped last year that our customer
wants to be able to install over our soon-to-be shipping new
binary. It has no bundle versioning -- no version.plists anywhere
in the original tree and no BundleVersions.plist.
When the old binary is installed after the new on 10.4, the
Install selection step has an "Install" button (even though there
is still a .pkg receipt in /Library/Receipts), not an "Upgrade"
button, and the install errors out with "There is nothing to
install".
Is there anything I can do to the new install package to make the
old package just install itself as an upgrade?
It's important the packages install as upgrades because we have
upgrade scripts we have to run...
