IIRC, from another bug report, someone shared that pressing U in `M-x
list-packages' is equivalent to: "for each upgradable pacakge, install
the new version and uninstall the old version".
So, I think what Евгений did was go to the package list, find the new
version of a package of interest and install it -- _without_ also
deleting the old version.
