The bug was in the instructions: for every package we say that they can
install it by using 'M-x package-install'.
But there is no sense to do that for built-in packages: they are already
installed, so package-install predictably says so instead of upgrading
to an external version.
Emacs 29 now has a user option to change the latter behavior (which IMHO
is not the right direction to solve this), but even so, it's off by
default, and the ELPA website needs to have instructions which will work
in the previous versions of Emacs.
Basically, see the previous discussions.
