    kpackagetool in the case of the upgrade switch launches a remove job first then an install.
    perhaps i should change the job in kpackage to launch an internal uninstall and reinstall if the version of the new is higher..
    but i'm not sure all this complexity is good in the install job, or if i should perhaps do an "info" job to retrieve the metadata of a .plasmoid and then having the client code to decide what to do with it (remove and reinstall if needed)

I don't see a way to check for "applet already installed" (should update existing one if newer?) or "installation failed". In the former case I just want to add the already installed applet
