</div>It should replace it. Otherwise there were no possibility to upgrade plugins.<br>
<br>
As you probably know, plugins bundled with qgis are installed in the<br>
/usr/share/qgis/python/plugins (or similar), while plugins installed by the<br>
installer go to ~/.qgis/python/plugins.<br>
<br>
Now, plugins in the home directory *always* cover the ones in /usr (even<br>
regardless of the version - if the instance in the home directory is older,<br>
qgis only displays a warning message and suggest to uninstall it).<br>
