This functionality is already well covered by the red-carpet software,
which
allows you to view, upgrade, remove and install rpm and deb packages. It
would
seem to be better to expand red-carpet to other packaging systems as
necessary (AIX
installp, Sun, etc.) rather than duplicate this functionality in the XST
tools.
