When a new version of an archive is extracted, the directory where the previous version is currently installed is not deleted first. Consequently, if some files or directories do not exist anymore in the new archive version, they are still present in the target directory after extraction.Thus, the content of the target directory could not strictly reflect the content of the updated archive.
