Under mandriva (2010.0) I used -i instead of -U (probably I had to force
installation due to file conflicts -- man pages -- and a missing 
requirements -- libtinfo.so.5) so I have more than one version installed:

[luca at po68 ~]$ rpm -q fpc
fpc-2.2.4-1
fpc-2.4.0-1
fpc-2.4.2-1

I have an /etc/fpc.cfg and its date is the same date as the install date
of fpc-2.4.2 (I don't think I touched it but I don't really remember).
I do remember that I had to manually adjust the simlink /usr/bin/ppc386.
The fact that I used -i instead of -U shouldn't matter (the postinstall
script that creates fpc.cfg doesn't check if it's an install or an upgrade).
