You missed 'upgrade'

Actually from the rpm world we've found people want

o	Install
o	Upgrade or install if not present
o	Upgrade

as three seperate things

You also need to be able to check, and list both installed and uninstalled
packages and to check installed against uninstalled

(ie check 'foo.pkg' versus foo I installed last week)
