There is now way how to update library in shared location when it's definition was changed in Library Manager. Some kind
of "reimport" action would be helpful.

Comment 1 Milos Kleint 2008-02-22 14:51:29 UTC

delete the shared library definition and import again. 

the question is by whom the global definition was changed. it can be user and it can be the module providing the
library. In any case autoupdating the user's binary dependencies in a project is a bad idea.
dependency management is primarily in the user's field  of responsibility

Comment 2 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2010-07-30 15:16:47 UTC

Reassigning to default owner.

Comment 3 Tomas Zezula 2014-07-08 09:28:47 UTC

As Milos proposed:
