You just delete the old files and let it re-download them to
update. If the old one is working for you, simply keep it.
You're missing the point. You want to install package X (either directly
or as a dependency for something else), which was written for a specific
version of Y. Your tool will just download the latest version of Y and the
whole thing crashes and burns.
Someone posted this somewhere else in this thread, I believe it's quite
