apt-get --reinstall

[aurelio <a.turco@bom.gov.au>]

In man apt-get it says:

  --reinstall

    Re-install packages that are already installed
    and at the newest version.

But in the APT HOWTO it says:

  "reinstalled with the same version".

Is this a bug in the documentation or in my understanding?

Cheers.
Aurelio.
