   Installed a !Libreoffice beta manually on !Debian with dpkg -i. Which command should I use when upgrading with a downloaded later package?

     What @tdjfr said—dpkg treats upgrade and install the same

     @tdjfr @samatjain Okay, thanks. Was afraid it would create a conflicting install.

     @mjjzf That _can_ happen if the packages are named differently, but install to the same files. E.g. libreoffice and libreoffice-beta
