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

Good question.  I think this is a non-bug for the package-list menu.
Launching the menu indeed refreshes the package list every time, respecting
the most recent package-archive values.

It was more that running package-upgrade after adding a package-archive
didn't refresh the list, not knowing that key values had
changed, invalidating the package cache.  From now on, I'll combine changes
with either launching the menu or running package-refresh-contents
manually.  This will likely never happen again, now that my configuration
is where I want it to be.

Please close.
