 Squid binaries within a series are drop-in replaceable.

 On Ubuntu the main binary is /usr/sbin/squid3 or /usr/sbin/squid.
 If you are worried about the helpers, they are in /usr/lib/squid3/ or
 /usr/lib/squid/

 Take a backup. Recovery is as simple as moving/copying the backed up
 binary over top of the test one.

 NP: if your 3.1.6 was a custom install they may have other binary
 locations, same process though.

 To upgrade with a custom build, just "squid -v" to find the path
 settings (feature enable/disable and flags variables are all optional).
 Make sure the paths are teh same though. Then in the sources configure
 and 'make install". restart squid and viola`.

 FYI: squid-3.1.12.* are known not to build with openssl 1.0.0 yet. You
 will need openssl 0.9.8 for now if you want the ssl-crtd feature.
