I will give it a try tomorrow, but that doesn't have any sense; we are
talking about the 'check' condition, it is supposed to check if the
package is already installed/upgraded and not if WPKG needs to do some
work...

See http://wpkg.org/Packages.xml#Check_conditions_.2F_check_type says:

---
Of course it would be unwise to launch the installer if the software is
already installed. That's why there are "check conditions".
The check conditions are also used after the installer has finished to
verify that the software has actually been successfully installed.
---

so i'm making the check condition against the new version of the
package, not the older one; i want to have installed in this system this
version or any greater version (if it was installed manually)
