Ha!. Source released under the GPL had d**n well better == reality, or
we're breaking the licence.

Is is uninstalling, but not as an uninstall, rather as the first part of
an upgrade. I've already said this in this conversation.

Yes. And it should. You've also prodded me into finding a bug. Thanks.

It's been like this for 3 full releases. See install.cc. 
See your log files. They'll show I was completely wrong!

FYI there are three loops in install.cc.
One for uninstalls
One for inplace replacements 
One for installs.

The uninstall checks is coded wrongly and triggering on replacements.

Doh.

So emacs will squeeze by for now.
