If there's interest in new versions of uninstalled packages, then we have an additional bit of complexity -- how do you know whether the candidate package is "new"? You would need an "old" version number to compare against. Possible answers include "the candidate version number that I got the last time I ran the script" or "a version number that I'll provide as a second argument to the script". We'd need to know what the OP has in mind here.
