Install some packages from NonGNU ELPA and wait for newer versions to
become available.  Then, type U in the package list.  Those packages
will not be marked for upgrades.  (I hope I'm not doing anything wrong
here.)

Thanks.

I tried `U' in the package list and it said

---
Packages marked for upgrading: 18
---

So it seems like it's working for me.  (I tried this in Emacs 29,
though.)

Hmm, which packages?  I have geiser stuck on 0.22 (while 0.22.2 shows up
in the package list), to name one example.

Thanks.

Hmm, thanks.  For me, at least the following packages that should be
upgradable aren't marked for upgrades on my side: ivy-posframe,
posframe, pyim, geiser, and coterm.

In fact, nothing gets marked for upgrades, and I have got quite some
more packages installed, so I suspect some problem in the upgrade
marking process.

(BTW, I don't have MELPA enabled if that's relevant.)

I got around to looking at this: every package installed is labeled as
"external" instead of "installed".  Since I don't know what the
difference between the two is, I installed a change to also mark
upgradable "external" packages, and am closing this bug.

Did this change go to the release branch (for the future 28.2) or to
the trunk or both?

Thanks!

Just to master.  It didn't seem safe enough for the release branch,
since it isn't a regression in 28.1.

Gotcha.  I was asking because the bug report was filed against 28.x. I
wasn't sure if that implied a fix for 28.2 or not.

Thank you for the reply.

       ;; Not inside `package-user-dir'.
       ((not (file-in-directory-p dir package-user-dir)) "external")

Perhaps you customize package-user-dir and its value is applied later 
than package-initialize is called? Or something similar.
