=>Does this make any sense?

=>Thanks!

If you update a new package over an old package using -Uvh then the old 
package gets deleted.

If you install a new package over an old package using -ivh and there are 
file conflicts then the install will fail.

If you have a package that contains libraries with different filenames 
than what is already installed from an older package then you can use the 
-ivh trick to have both the old and the new package installed at the same 
time with no conflict.
