Hello,
I see that there is a call to packagemeta::uninstall in the replace_one ()
function (install.cc). However it seems that this call is unnecessary.
Packages which need to be replaced are uninstalled before replace_one ()
is called - see do_install_thread().
Is this true or am I reading it wrong ? :)
