Surely if that is not said and the installer version is less than the installed version, it shouldn't allow "upgrade"? On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 10:55 PM, Iceberg-Dev <dev.iceberg@gmail.com> wrote:

What I need to know is..

Is that just how it works, basically ignoring the version info?

And, if not

What might be going wrong? Which version entry is the important one? What format does it have to be to work?

I would tend to believe that the wording here is not deeply connected to the real operation.

For instance, in some OS versions, when you're upgrading, the main button is labeled "Update" (IIRC). With recent versions, it's labeled "Install".

In the case you're describing the algorithm is probably as you wrote:

if there's never been a version of the package on disk then it's an install.

if there has been a version of the package, it's an upgrade.
