It does this by -.B INSTALLING -the new package onto the system, and then -.B REMOVING -any files from the old package that aren't in the new package. -If the old and new packages have the same name, a single argument is all that -is required. If the packages have different names, supply the name of the -old package followed by a percent symbol (%), then the name of the new package. -Do not add any extra whitespace between pairs of old/new package names. -.P -Before upgrading a package, save any configuration files (such as in /etc) -that you wish to keep. Sometimes these will be preserved, but it depends on -the package structure. If you want to force new versions of the config files -to be installed, remove the old ones manually prior to running upgradepkg. -.P -If upgradepkg finds more than one installed package matching the old package's -name, it will remove them all. -.TP -To upgrade in a directory other than / (such as /mnt): -.TP -ROOT=/mnt upgradepkg package.txz (or .tbz, .tgz, .tlz) -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B \--dry-run -Output a report about which packages would be installed or upgraded -but don't actually perform the upgrades. -.TP -.B \--install-new -Normally upgradepkg only upgrades packages that are already installed on the system, and -will skip any packages that do not already have a version installed. -If -.B --install-new -is specified, the behavior is modified to install new packages in addition to upgrading -existing ones. -.TP -.B \--reinstall -Upgradepkg usually skips packages if the exact same package -(matching name, version, arch, and build number) is already installed on the system. -Use the --reinstall option if you want to upgrade all packages even if the same -version is already installed. -.TP -.B \--terse -Upgrade the package displaying only a single description line to stdout. -.TP -.B \--terselength <length> -Maximum line length of --terse mode output. Default is the number of terminal columns. -.TP -.B \--verbose -Show all the gory details of the upgrade. -.SH AUTHOR -Patrick J.
