Why not immediately check the replace value after the for() iteration 
added by the patch, and do something like:

   /* we don't care about a to-be-replaced package's newer version */
   for(j = trans->packages; j; j=j->next) {
     ...
   }
   if(replace) {
     continue;
   }

Or is there a specific reason to pass in the first "if() / else if()" tests?
