I'd like to ask some more questions.  IIUC, it can't happen
automatically, the administrator has to know about the upgrade and
handle certain steps in some way outside the standard tools.  The
update to the current CSWcoreutils needs to go as follows:

1. If they are installed, remove CSWshutils, CSWgfile and CSWtextutils
2. Update the local catalog cache
3. Install CSWcoreutils or do an automated upgrade, during which
CSWcoreutils will be pulled as a dependency to some other package.

In what way having new CSWgfile breaks this?
