• when the are no version specified, cf-agent only tries to install an updates if it finds it in the available package list
• when there is a specified version, even if there are no available update found, cf-agent assumes the specified version exists and calls the update command for this package anyway

And we do not currently fetch available updates.

ok, so should we do as we do for rpmPackageInstallation?
