Hello Philip,

I just tried the modified `package-upgrade' function and it doesn't seem
to work. It seems to break the upgrade procedure in an even worse way,
at least in my setup. Now `package-install' is tried first with the
package symbol, which will be a no-op, since the package is already
installed. Afterwards the package is deleted and we always end up with
no package. Probably `package-install' should also be called with a
package descriptor of the new package version?

Thanks!

Daniel
