This doesn't match the behavior I am seeing. For example, after selecting
"Changes ... Install New Updates", I got a message in the Transcript that
said "Package ODBC. There is a newer version than currently loaded". So I
evaluated "Feature require: 'ODBC'" in a workspace and it seems nothing
happened. Then I deleted the package from an "Installed Packages" window
and reevaluated the "Feature require:". That gave me the updates.
