[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

There is a long standing problem that keeps docstrings pointing to the old
location after the package has been upgraded.

See
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/12158/docstrings-are-invalid-after-upgrading-packages


Emacs restart or manual load-library on the new new file do fix the
problem, but shouldn't loading happen automatically at package upgrade?

I could not find a previously submitted bug, nor is the paradox package
trying to handle this problem. I mostly upgrade using the
function paradox-upgrade-packages.
