nookMarket not able to upgrade the existing apps

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select an app already installed in the system
2. Open nookMarket and select that app and try to upgrade the version. 
3. nookMarket is not able to update the existing apps. It shows error message 
that this app could not be installed on the phone.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
nookMarket should be able to upgrade the apps :-)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.0.2

Please provide any additional information below.
I tried to upgrade ADPFViewer app but nookMarket failed. i had to manually 
uninstall it using adb and then try the nookmarket to get the latest version.

you need the latest softroot to enable upgrades. 
For the old softroot, see if the following works-

Create a file - market.xml and put the following in there-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<allowUpgrades>n</allowUpgrades>

This will force the market app to uninstall apps before installing. But all 
your app data will be retained.

I'll add this info to the FAQ.

This file has to go in the root ( either internal or external sd card).

If you create this file, no need to upgrade to the new softroot.

i upgraded to 2.4.1 as it gave other options like ADB over USB as well. now the 
nookMarket works great with existing apps as well. thanks a lot for your 
guidance. After i installed 2.4.1, i am able to ADB over USB but adb over 
connecting to port 5555 is no longer working. is it the expected behaviour or 
am i missing something? :)

Yes. Many were complaining that it was not secure since anybody in the n/w can 
connect to it.

You can enable it back by running this command from adb shell & rebooting.

 "setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555"

In another thread someone asked how one would then disable adb over wifi.  I 
assume that
"setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 0"
would do the trick?

Yes. I think you can leave the value blank as well.
