What you can do is to specify some <downgrade /> commands which will then do the
installation. In many cases the downgrade command would anyway look identical to
the upgrade command (either just install the package or uninstall and then
install). So in most cases it does not matter if WPKG detects if the package is
newer or older - it just detects a version mismatch and executes appropriate
commands. After that WPKG will write your (fixed) version 8.64 to the local
wpkg.xml.

Hi Rainer,
     I have rechecked the two versions of wpkg.js and found that versionCompare has only 6 hits for 1.0.4 and 21 hits for 1.1.1 RC2
There is much changed and I did not know about the downgrade feature, which might come in handy.

1.0.4 did not check for lower revision numbers, but 1.1.0 does ;-)

Thanks for clarifying and have a nice one,
Stefan
