When updating a package and then deleting the obsolete verion, the current installed packages don't have the status 'installed' afterwards but the status 'dependency'.
How to replicate:
1. M-x package-list-packages
2. M-x package-menu-mark-obsolete-for-deletion
3. delete marked packages
Then the status of the currently installed version becomes
'dependency'. For example, this might be problematic when using M-x
package-autoremove, because these packages would be deleted.

(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)
With 3), do you mean `M-x package-menu-execute' (i.e., `x')?

In any case, I can't reproduce this bug, because I don't seem to have
any obsolete packages installed. Anybody else?
Are you still seeing this bug in more recent versions of Emacs?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report. If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
