pkg - updateable packages

Hello,
I'm creating some installation packages for Solaris 9 and I wonder whether or not the Solaris pkg system support update operation.

Creating Solaris Packages says
Quote:
The package tools allow you to install, update and remove software easily
But I havent found out how update works.

Like in debian packages, I'd like to detect in the "preinstall" script that it is an update and not a new install of the package.

Thanks for your advices,
regards,
Tex.
