Abstract

An information processor includes a first part storing one or more programs included in one or more packages; a second part correlating and retaining the package and version information of the programs on a program basis; a third part comparing, if one of the installed programs is to be installed, the version information of the installed one of the programs and the one of the programs to be installed; a fourth part determining whether the one of the programs to be installed is subordinate to a package other than a package including the one of the programs to be installed, if the version information of the one of the programs to be installed is determined to be lower; and a fifth part installing the one of the programs to be installed if the one of the programs to be installed is determined to be not subordinate to the other package.
