What's displayed above is out of phase with what is going to happen,
it says "upgrade" but it's actually going to downgrade... maybe that
results in something not working (I can only guarantee forward
compatibility).
I'm finding this all very frustrating because the whole distribution
package thing on OS X is so close to being great, but it has what to
me seem like big omissions (surely the distribution file should have
pre-install and post-install functions? after all you had them on
meta-packages), and what's the point in only being able to read the
description in the script?
And more importantly, it seems to be buggy, or there's a glaring hole
in the documentation which means that I'm missing something on
versions.
