Upgrading: Download and verify first before uninstalling #231

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I have an unreliable internet connection. So the downloads often fail. So what 
typically happens if I upgrade a package is that the old version is 
uninstalled, the new version's download fails and I end up not having the 
package on my on my PC at all. This is ok if I do it one at a time, but when I 
select say 10 packages and update them all, some would fail, and I can't 
remember which ones were selected in the first place.

If the download succeeds, the file hash is sometimes a different one to the 
expected one and the same happens.

I suggest that when updating a package, do not uninstall the old version until 
the new version's file has been downloaded and confirmed against the MD5 
checksum.
