Bowing to popular demand, J. Scott Long has now made his programs 
adoupdate-friendly.  That should help avoid problems like this in the future.

Repeating a suggestion I made in some other thread, if you are going 
to offer programs from your own site, it is a very good idea to make 
the trivial tweaks (i.e. including the distribution dates in your pkg 
files) that will let your programs work with 
adoupdate.  (Incidentally, I notice that several of my installed 
routines that do not follow this advice are from www.stata.com! e.g. 
the old Stataquest routines.)
