[bug-sourceinstall] [bug #16765] 2.1 broke upgrading to same name (CVS & SVN)

[Claudio Fontana]

Update of bug #16765 (project sourceinstall):

                Category:                    None => Installation           
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
             Assigned to:                    None => sick_soul

Follow-up Comment #1:

I am working on a fix for the unhelpful error messages.
Both interfaces will now properly detect the ERR_BUSY return value
(that means a package with the same name is already in) and spit out
something meaningful.

The main issue (making update work using the same/default package name),
expecially useful for cvs/svn directories derives from the new implementation
of update, which is much safer now, but with the unpleasant surprise that it
has become less flexible.

I will think this through and report back.

Thanks for your catch.
