Ok, I understand all this. So what happens (for example) if I have
installed GCC 6.1.0 and I want to upgrade to GCC 6.2.0. If I was not to

commands in the book, would it _entirely_ replace GCC 6.1.0?
Please do not top post.
As with most package upgrades, things are left behind unless you
specifically remove them afterwards.
In most cases, this is not a problem. If '/' is comparatively small,
after doing some upgrades of big packages you might need to clear out
some of the things left behind so that you have enough space.
What it _will_ do is replace the executables, the libraries in
/usr/lib, and the info files and manpages.
The things left behind are in the versioned directories in:
/usr/include/c++/
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/
/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/
/usr/share/

Do you prefer to install over, with gcc, or uninstall, then install?
