NAME

SYNOPSIS
upgradepkg
[
-h, --help

]
newpkgfile
[

DESCRIPTION
upgradepkg
attempts to upgrade any given package that is installed on the system
with a newer package file. If there is no package that matches the new
package file, you should use
installpkg
instead.
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
-
When this option is specified,
upgradepkg
will print its own usage instructions and exit.
- -w, --report
-
This will cause
upgradepkg
to only generate a report of the proposed upgrade instead of actually
upgrading any files. This can be useful to see if upgrading a package
will remove any pre-existing files.
- -r, --root DIR
-
Passing this argument causes
upgradepkg
to install the given package file into the DIR directory instead of /. This
is useful for installations from removable media such as DVDs.
- -v, --verbose
-
This option will cause
upgradepkg
to output more information about the upgrade process than usual. Namely,
this will produce more output as far as the files that are removed.
