Actually, I was talking about the most recent version. Is the most recent installed version displayed as "external" instead of "installed"? (I'm guesing probably not, or you would have said something). > I haven't always checked but last time I did, the packages of old version= s > were indeed displayed at the bottom as obsolete. Ok, this is a strong indicator that some error happens during deletion or installation, and so the upgrade is halted before deletion happens. Check out your Messages buffer next time. Even if you've already deleted the old directories, I think you can trigger an upgrade by doing the following: 1. Go into the file =E2=80=9C~/.emacs.d/elpa/helm-2015NNNN.NNNN/helm-pkg.el= =E2=80=9D, and decrease the version number in there. 2. Rename the actual directory =E2=80=9C~/.emacs.d/elpa/helm-2015NNNN.NNNN/= =E2=80=9D according to the new version number. 3. Restart Emacs.
