Huh? When I install a package, the indicator goes to ***, but it never
tries to reinstall that package again until a newer version appears. In
fact, if I *want* to reinstall it, I have to remove it first.
"=" is more meant for special occasions, such as when there is a newer
version but you don't want to upgrade yet.
At least that's what it's supposed to do. Somebody else will have to
figure out why yours keeps on reinstalling.
