# ls -lt /usr/bin/pdfetex*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root users      11 Nov 27 21:42 /usr/bin/pdfetex ->
pdfetex.new
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root users 2930928 Nov 27 21:40 /usr/bin/pdfetex.new
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root users 1101504 Nov  1 20:46 /usr/bin/pdfetex.old

It allows me to revert back by setting a symlink if I do not succeed.
