Looking at the updates I listed, I notice that all three security updates 
are 3.0.1 so that may be why the overwrite.  Maybe 3.0.1-6579 had some 
minor problems that were addressed in 3.0.1-6682?  I'm hoping that having 
Qube2-security release 2.1 on my box will make OS Update 3.0 "function 
properly".
