Bug? "mas outdated" doesn't show available MAS updates

[JayBrown]

I also had the problem described elsewhere: needed to run mas signout first in order to do a correct mas signin. (Also did a reboot beforehand to be sure, and also set to "save password" for free downloads in the App Store PrefPane.)

Now there's a different problem: updates are available at the MAS, but mas outdated is showing nothing at all; and the "outdated" option is the primary reason for me to use mas.

System: 10.11.4
Installed with: brew install argon/mas/mas

Tried uninstalling and re-installing, now with brew install mas, but still no output with mas outdated.

Problem of missing stdout might have been that the available update was not a regular MAS application update, but an OS X system update (Camera Raw). Will examine this further and report back.

That would be the issue. Mas will only work with Application updates. System updates are handled through the softwareupdate utility
