-U was "upgrade-only"... I think it meant it would not downgrade a |
| 14 |
package (even if a downgrade were required). My guess is that it was |
| 15 |
removed because it broke stuff lol. I never understood why it would be |
| 16 |
used anyway. It's not usual that something needs to be downgraded and |
| 17 |
when it is it's usually for good reason. |
