It is only supposed to update the packages you have, and decides which 
to update based on package-get-base.  Currently, it may end up
installing packages you do not have if they are required by packages
you do have.  I think that should be changed since sometimes package A
is officially required by package B, but there are no real problems in 
running B without A.
