Description

chicken-install doesn't update an egg in case an outdated version of it is cached.

Example to illustrate the problem:

 $ chicken-install -purge srfi-13
 $ chicken-install srfi-13:0.3.1
 $ chicken-status srfi-13
 srfi-13 ..................................................... version: 0.3.1
 $ chicken-install srfi-13
 $ chicken-status srfi-13
 srfi-13 ..................................................... version: 0.3.1

The expected output (according to Felix) of the second execution of chicken-status should show 0.3.2, which is the latest version of srfi-13 at the time of writing of this ticket.
