I think this error message means the user needs to upgrade to 6.1.1:
The following out-of-date packages are listed as dependencies of pict3d
and they will be automatically updated:
base (have 6.1, need 6.1.1)
DrRacket install: package installed in a different scope
package: base
current scope: user
installed in scope: installation
The problem: I had to read this error message a couple of times to
figure out what was going on, and I'm not a casual user. Technically,
the user needs to upgrade "base" but it's an installation-scope package,
and he's requesting only user-scope updates. (Right?)
There's definitely a nicer way to explain this in the error message. My
mental model of the package system is incomplete, though, so I don't
know whether it's feasible to detect this situation. Is it? I also don't
know whether the package system would upgrade "base" to 6.1.1 if the
user had requested "pict3d" be installation-scope. Would it?
