BUGS

87       gpt-install currently does not honor static build numbers.  Instead it
88       will replace any pgm_static package that is the same version or older.
89       For example:
90
91         gpt-install -force foo-2.1-2-gcc32-pgm_static.tar.gz
92
93         foo-1.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
94         foo-2.1-1-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
95         foo-2.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
96         foo-2.2-1-gcc32-pgm_static will not be replaced.
97         foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm will not be replaced.
