pkg install via pui-list-packages deletes the pkg, why?

No it is not *hard*,  just hm _annoying_

Because:

    -  de install stable pkg

    -  download and install beta.pkg

    -  deinstall beta.pkg

    -  download again stable pkg (yeah right I can keep a copy) and
       install it

But as you said if it can't be done easily then it is not worth the
effort.
