I've noticed that since updating to Emacs 24.4, installing packages doesn't refresh their status after installation. If I install, it still appears available to install. How can I force it to refresh?

  • It sounds like you're talking about the package menu. If so, what does the Help buffer have to do with it?

  • If you click on a package in package-menu. The buffer called *Help* pops up with package details including dependencies, categories, other available versions, and basic readme documentation--as well as an [Install] button.

  • I'd show a picture, but my Emacs is currently inoperable due to failed updating of Elpa.

  • looking at the picture, I suppose it says that it's already installed, and leaves the install button there.

  • Ok, I see what you mean. Are you sure that it wasn't like this before you upgraded to 24.4?

It turns out the Help for packages changed in 24.4 so that the information I thought wasn't getting updated is and is shown on the Other versions line.
