Friends,

Has anybody mastered how to upgrade between versions  of firefox or thunderbird or even nod32?

We currently have a "nod32 v3" wpkg package and a "nod32 v4" wpkg package, or a "firefox 3" and a "firefox 4" and "firefox" 5" and "firefox 6" wpkg package.

Has anybody worked out a clean way of upgrading between versions that wpkg considers to be non-related?

Something along the lines of a "upgrade" section in the xml that will actively edit the "wpkg.xml" db file pn the machine and do something along the lines of

sed -e 's/firefox 3/firefox 4/' on the wpkg.xml file and so consolidate different packages and make sure they can be upgraded in this way?

Thanks for any pointers or solutions to this problem.

Regards,
