Hi Bing,

obviously global is empty so there is nothing to update. The system 
offers you to overwrite the existing old extension in local, which is 
what you want to do.

Old entries live in the DB and shouldn't be affected by an update. To 
get the ultimative securety, please make a backup before updating.
