-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B upgradepkg
-upgrades a Slackware package from an older version to a
-newer one. It does this by
-.B INSTALLING
-the new package onto the system, and then
-.B REMOVING
-any files from the old package that aren't in the new package.
-If the old and new packages have the same name, a single argument is all that
-is required. If the packages have different names, supply the name of the
-old package followed by a percent symbol (%), then the name of the new package.
-Do not add any extra whitespace between pairs of old/new package names.
-.P
-Before upgrading a package, save any configuration files (such as in /etc)
-that you wish to keep. Sometimes these will be preserved, but it depends on
-the package structure. If you want to force new versions of the config files
-to be installed, remove the old ones manually prior to running upgradepkg.
-.P
-If upgradepkg finds more than one installed package matching the old package's
-name, it will remove them all.
-.TP
-To upgrade in a directory other than / (such as /mnt):
-.TP
-ROOT=/mnt upgradepkg package.txz (or .tbz, .tgz, .tlz)
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \--dry-run
-Output a report about which packages would be installed or upgraded
-but don't actually perform the upgrades.
-.TP
-.B \--install-new
-Normally upgradepkg only upgrades packages that are already installed on the system, and
-will skip any packages that do not already have a version installed.
-If
-.B --install-new
-is specified, the behavior is modified to install new packages in addition to upgrading
-existing ones.
-.TP
-.B \--reinstall
-Upgradepkg usually skips packages if the exact same package
-(matching name, version, arch, and build number) is already installed on the system.
-Use the --reinstall option if you want to upgrade all packages even if the same
-version is already installed.
-.TP
-.B \--terse
-Upgrade the package displaying only a single description line to stdout.
-.TP
-.B \--terselength <length>
-Maximum line length of --terse mode output. Default is the number of terminal columns.
-.TP
-.B \--verbose
-Show all the gory details of the upgrade.
