st: -adoupdate- doesn't recognize that it's already updated certainpackages

[Joseph Coveney <jcoveney@bigplanet.com>]

See the log below.  There is a boatload of similar packages that -adoupdate-
wants to update each time just as for the one shown below.  It takes forever
to run -adoupdate- because of this.  Uninstalling and re-installing the
package doesn't fix this.  How do I correct this?
