Is there a way to update a single package from IPS without updating

new version of VirtualBox came out, and update is available for extra
repository. But attempting to update it from package manager tries to
create a new BE. Why is that, and is there a way to update single
packages? I didn't find corresponding options in CLI pkg too.
Yes, "pkg install" both installs and updates, since an update is
simply "installing" a new version of something. Although, looking at
the man page, that should be made clearer.

I see, thanks. Yes, it makes sense to explain it more clearly in man, or
even to create an 'update' option as an alias for 'install' for existing
package to make it more intuitive.

Hillel.
