I just now did this and it seemed to work fine - see below. Since we're on the subject, can the wording of the update confirmation be changed to "can be upgraded" rather than "updated" (as in "32 can be updated" below)? I was confused any number of times trying to figure out why the "update" had no effect until I remembered that I needed to follow this with the "upgrade" command. If the wording were more precise, it would provide a reminder.
