Repro steps

Existing ng 6 CLI project with three projects (one app and two libraries)
following output from ng update

 ng update
Your global Angular CLI version (6.2.3) is greater than your local
version (6.0.0). The local Angular CLI version is used.

To disable this warning use "ng config -g cli.warnings.versionMismatch false".
    We analyzed your package.json, there are some packages to update:

      Name                               Version                  Command to update
     --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      @angular/cli                       6.0.0 -> 6.2.3           ng update @angular/cli
      @angular/core                      6.0.0 -> 6.1.8           ng update @angular/core
      @angular/material                  6.0.2 -> 6.4.7           ng update @angular/material
      rxjs                               6.1.0 -> 6.3.2           ng update rxjs


    There might be additional packages that are outdated.
    Or run ng update --all to try to update all at the same time.

$ ng update @angular/cli
Your global Angular CLI version (6.2.3) is greater than your local
version (6.0.0). The local Angular CLI version is used.

To disable this warning use "ng config -g cli.warnings.versionMismatch false".
            Found a modern configuration file. Nothing to be done.

Desired functionality

ng update @angular/cli should update to the version as indicated by the ng update command.

Still broken in ng7 and cli v7.

ng update yields:

running ng update @angular/cli yields:
Found a modern configuration file. Nothing to be done.
With no packages being updated
