Subject: bug#12545: 24.2; Updating packages does not reload files.
Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2012 20:49:37 -0500

package.el supports an "upgrade" feature from `package-list-packages'
that installs a new version of a package and removes the old one. I
updated the `helm' package on my system and you can see that when trying
to kill emacs, there is a problem where the hook seems to be trying to
execute a function but cannot find the doc string file.  This is because
the directories are named after the version.  

kill-emacs: Cannot open doc string file "/Users/dcurtis/.emacs.d/elpa/helm-20120921.1208/helm-adaptative.elc"

It would be nice to have package.el somehow reload the package files.
