+Subject: [PATCH] Do not configure pkg if there's an update in transaction.
+
+This fixes the following problem:
+
+ - pkg is installed with state "unpacked".
+ - There's an update of pkg in transaction.
+ - xbps tries to configure the pkg because its state is "unpacked",
+   therefore ignoring the update.

++ * libxbps: when a package has not been configured and there's an update
