replacing `package-initialize' with `package-activate-all' above results in
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function package-update-all)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

.emacs fragment for Lars:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(with-eval-after-load "package"
(dolist (s '(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")))
(add-to-list 'package-archives s)))

I restart emacs only once a week, when I rebuild it.
Not a problem interactively.

no, as indicated by the error above, `package-activate-all' does not
load package, so `package-update-all' and `package-archives' is still
not available:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Error: void-variable (package-archives)

because otherwise `package-selected-packages' is nil and there is
nothing to update.
and I need `delete-dups' because `package-activated-list' will repeat
all installed packages as many times as `list-packages' or
`package-quickstart-refresh' was called.

yep - a fraction of a percent.

just add a setq at the end, like we already do with `package-activated-list'.
Thank you for your reply.

There are two ways to win an argument with a woman. Neither works.
