Hi Statalist,
I am experiencing a puzzling problem related to updating a module I authored on my own machines on my company's local network using SSC that I could not find having been discussed previously on StataList.
I have recently updated the -domin- module on SSC. If you were to lookup the package using, for example, -findit- the SSC entry would look like:
Note the distribution date of last Friday.
An instance of Stata 17 on our internal network has an old version of this module. To verify this is the case, I load the 'stata.trk' file and report the entry for -domin-.
Note the distribution date of approximately one year ago. I can verify that I only have this version of -domin- installed on this instance of Stata.
The problem is, that when I run -adoupdate-, the module is not recognized as being out of date.
I find this puzzling as it is my understanding given the documentation for -adoupdate- suggests that it is the distribution date that determines whether the package is up to- or out of date.
I also do not see -domin- among the list presented when I ask for -ssc whatsnew- (as other users can readily verify as well) despite the distribution date for -domin- being within the bounds of what should be reported (as of today/when just called it reads 'SSC Stata modules created or revised 2022-10-11 to 2022-11-11').
Have others experienced this issue as well? I did recently change my contact email and add a new .mlib file. It is not clear why those changes would result in the behavior I'm seeing however.
Hopeful there's an easy solution to this that I'm overlooking.

TITLE
'DOMIN': module to conduct dominance analysis
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
domin conducts dominance analysis (Budescu, 1993; Psychological
Bulletin) which computes general, conditional statistics,
as well as complete dominance designations for user supplied
regression model. All dominance analysis statistics are to
evaluate a variable's relative importance in reducing
prediction error in the prediction of some (set of)
dependent variable(s). Includes 3 wrapper modules to conduct
multivariate and linear mixed effect regression dominance
analysis as well as to accommodate official and user-contributed
postestimation commands that compute fit statistics.
KW: dominance
KW: decomposition
KW: relative importance
KW: relative weights
KW: shapley values
Requires: Stata version 12.1 and package moremata from SSC (q.v.)
Distribution-Date: 20221104

The problem is, that when I run -adoupdate-, the module is not recognized as being out of date.
Code:
. adoupdate domin, update
note: ado update updates community-contributed files; type update to check for updates to official Stata.
Checking status of specified packages:
[11] domin at http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/d:
installed package is up to date
(no packages require updating)
I also do not see -domin- among the list presented when I ask for -ssc whatsnew- (as other users can readily verify as well) despite the distribution date for -domin- being within the bounds of what should be reported (as of today/when just called it reads 'SSC Stata modules created or revised 2022-10-11 to 2022-11-11').
