> 1) Install package foo and bar.
> 2) Disable them in package-load-list ((foo nil) (bar nil) all).
> 3) Wait some time until foo and/or bar have new versions available.
> 4) Call package-upgrade-all.  It will call package-upgrade on foo

> As a result we have lost foo package, it is now uninstalled.
> Same problem with M-x package-upgrade, foo and bar are listed in
