Subject: 29.0.50; [PATCH] Fix (package-update) always install package due to
 invalid version comparison
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2022 22:23:53 +0000

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

The function (package-update) should do nothing if the package already
is the latest one; but it actually always installs the package.

The issue comes from the version comparison in function
(package--updateable-packages).

In function (package--updateable-packages), it will compare the
priority versions for the achieved package and the available package,
but the archived package has NO priority version, and the will get
default 0 as its priority version, then the version comparison gets
wrong results.

This patch will fix the issue, please help to review it. Thanks.

Best Regards
Lin
