== Steps to finish a first context upgrade ==
If you have format files in
<tt>~/.texmf-var/web2c/<i>engine</i></tt> where <i>engine</i> is typically <tt>pdfetex</tt>, then these will shadow the ones installed by the context package. So you need delete them.
To find them, use <tt>kpsewhich cont-en.fmt</tt> (and similarly for the other formats). Run the <tt>kpsewhich</tt> from a 'typical' directory (e.g. your home directory), rather than from <tt>~/.texmf-var/web2c/pdfetex/</tt> (adjust for your engine), otherwise it will find the newly created formats before any others.
If you have context installed in a directory that precedes <tt>/usr/share/texmf</tt>, then they will shadow the ones installed by the package, and you will get a clash (the format files will be the ones installed by the package, but later versions will be read in). So you need to move the shadowing context installations out of the way.
reorder two sections (some bug means I cannot do it logged in. -Sanjoy)
