Just as a general remark, the “update only” messages are not so great when one happens to have a bumpy update that ends up in deleting and re-installing the package (which unfortunately happens sometimes). This got me a few times since the conversion.

Maybe it would be possible to have a way to detect if an installation *might* be an update based on certain files existing? (per port logic). A relatively easy way could be checking if a configuration file for the package already exists, in which case both, install and update message could be displayed.

Cheers,
Michael
