How do I update tool packages?

See original GitHub issue

Cake calls nuget install with the -ExcludeVersion switch. Because of this, NuGet doesn’t know which version is currently installed, so if there’s any version of the package currently installed, NuGet assumes that it’s up to date, even though it’s not.

For instance, if I have this in my tools/packages.config:

<package id="NUnit.ConsoleRunner" version="3.2.0" />

and the package is already installed, when I update the packages.config to this:

<package id="NUnit.ConsoleRunner" version="3.4.1" />

NuGet doesn’t install the new version, because it assumes it’s already there.

What is the proper way to force a packages to be update (besides removing the packages already in tools)? Was there a specific reason to use -ExcludeVersion?

@thomaslevesque I have just merged @mholo65’s suggestion into this repository, and I am away to make the same change in the default bootstrapper as well.
