Have no fear, your Newton is pretty smart...

Put the new package away to a different store than where the 'running'
ICVC is installed. You Newton will disable/freeze the newly installed
package the moment it finds that a conflict exists. Then all you do is
delete the old one, unfreeze the new one and move it to where you want
it.
