Currently package.el reports packages as "Obsolete" when this is probably not a good choice of word, as it is being interpreted as "no longer in active development". http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2019-02/msg00070.html It happens when several versions of a package are installed. Consider this report from M-x package-list-packages dash 2.12.0 obsolete A modern list library for Emacs eglot 1.4 incompat gnu Client for Language Server Protocol (LSP) servers kiwix 0.4.0 incompat melpa-s... Kiwix interface and support. Dash is showing here are obsolete because in my installation 2.15.0 is installed. company 0.9.9 dependency Modular text completion framework dash 2.15.0 dependency A modern list library for Emacs dash-functional 2.15.0 dependency Collection of useful combinators for Emacs Lisp direnv 1.4.0 dependency direnv support for emacs The problem is "obsolete" line appears quite some distance away from other line which shows dash is installed. I would suggested "installed but outdated" perhaps. Or "More Recent Version Installed". Both a bit long.
