>From quickly peeking at the source, it looks like:

    * `apk fix foo` and `apk fix -r foo` behave the same. Can I assume
      that it's always the current version that's re-installed, even if an
      upgrade is available? And that if foo isn't currently installed,
      these commands do nothing?

    * `apk fix -u foo` won't reinstall foo, but will install an upgrade
       for foo if one is available.

    * `apk fix -r -u foo` will install an upgrade for foo if one is
       available, else will reinstall the current version.

Is that right?
