Package: emacs
Version: 25.2

mkdir /tmp/foo
HOME=/tmp/foo emacs
M-x list-packages RET
Select "ack" (eg)
  -> In the Help buffer:
     ack is an available package.
Hit "install", confirm "yes"
  -> The Help buffer changes to say:
     ack is an available obsolete package.
     Status: Available Obsolete from gnu -- Install

In the Packages buffer, the status has correctly updated to "installed".
