Remarks

Note that this method does not activate the package.

If a package with the same name already exists in the site assets library, an integer suffix “{n}” is added to the file name. For example, a package with the filename packageDefaultFilename.wsp would have a duplicate filename altered to be packageDefaultFilename{2}.wsp and so forth.
