Title:
  Older version of a user installed click is not updated by custom or
  base pre-installed clicks with a more recent version

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in click package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When click is asked to list the set of packages for a given user, it
  walks its way down the list of databases from top (default) to bottom
  (core). For each database, it checks registrations for that user,
  followed by registrations for @all. It takes the first registration
  for any given package name that it finds.

  This results both in the user's device using the older version of the
  software, and the use and reporting of extra storage for multiple
  copies of the click package.

  Uninstalling a package with multiple copies is also confusing for
  users as only the user copy is uninstalled and the click remains in
  the list of installed apps/scopes.
