Yeah sure, that is why I still called it a fix. It fixed some cases
(the fileconflict003 one), but caused a regression in others (like
xulrunner case).
But right, we can just say behavior change.
Still, I am confused, when did this behavior change?
I thought it was caused by the patch in the above bug report, but this
happened before 3.1.
And apparently 3.1 behavior is different than 3.2, because 3.1 handled
xulrunner upgrade fine, and not 3.2.
Maybe some other changes that happened in 3.2 caused this behavior
change in combination to that "fix for fileconflict003" patch ?

That would be nice. And even better if you could find out when it broke :)
