According to the man page, upgrade = update --obsoletes It also says it is more suitable to use for distrobution upgrades, like changing from somelinux 8.0 to somelinux 9. Amazing what you can learn by reading a man page. B^) It is my understanding that some changes were made recently that allowed for package obsoletion more readily during an update, which renders the difference pretty much moot these days. I could be wrong about this though. I've had certain packages removed during an update and be replaced by new ones with different names. -- Kevin J.
