Error during melpa package update to lsp-ui-20200617.544

I just used the automatic update method (list-packages + 'U') to update my install packages and got this error:

I hope this is the right place to report this problem.

When you update one component from emacs LSP organization you should update all. Even better is to delete the old packages and install all of them after restarting.

I marked all installed packages for upgrading. Is there dependency handling in melpa packages?

[yyoncho]

Pretty much no. Your issue is probably caused by package.el trying to update lsp-ui before lsp-mode.

So is the package probably broken now and I should reinstall it, or is it fine? What's the best way forward?

[yyoncho]

Reinstall all lsp-* packages. One way to do that is to go to .emacs.d/elpa and delete them. Then restart emacs and let it download them again in the way you normally do.

I have only three: lsp-mode, lsp-treemacs, and lsp-ui. I think there should probably be a package.el bug report to have a (better) dependency system...
Thanks for the feedback!

I filed an upstream bug report:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=41926
for package.el.
