10 Given that the path's and setup files it has used has changed since it was
11 first implemented, and that you havn't said which version you are currently
12 running my suggestion would be to remove your existing version and install
13 the one from portage. If your http-replicator dir is different from the new
14 one (/var/cache/http-replicator) then simply move the tarballs from your old
15 one into the new one.
