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:
