setup isn't really designed for use from the command line. It doesn't take
package names as arguments, for example. You could, I suppose, munge
/etc/setup/installed.db to fool setup into thinking that a really old (e.g.
version 0) version of a package is installed, so that it would updated -
it's a messy way to do it, but there is no better way.

Thanks Max for the idea. Here is a quick hack/shell script which worked on
the (small handful) of packages that I tried with it.
pkgFileName=` awk < $SETUP_INI ' /@ / { pkgName=$2 } /version: / && pkg == pkgName { pkgVer=$2 } /install: / && pkg == pkgName { num=split($2,arrFile,"/") pkgFile=arrFile[num] hyphenOffset=index(pkgFile,"-") if (hyphenOffset != 0) { pkgPrefix=substr(pkgFile, 0, hyphenOffset) verLength=index(pkgFile,".tar.bz2") - hyphenOffset ver=substr(pkgFile, hyphenOffset+1, verLength - 1) pkgSuffix=substr(pkgFile, hyphenOffset + verLength) pkgFile=pkgPrefix "" gensub(/[0-9]/,"0","g",ver) "" pkgSuffix print pkgFile pkgPrinted="true" exit } } END{ if (pkgPrinted != "true") print pkgFile } ' pkg=$pkgName `
