Update symbol from library not working

bdc66a938f164d

I have a symbol drawn in `/path/to/symbol.dra` and the corresponding `/path/to/symbol.psm` file. This symbol was included in my `/path/to/main.mcm` design earlier. Now I modified `symbol.dra` and also the corresponding `symbol.psm`. I want this change to be updated in all instances of this symbol in `main.mcm`. I went to `Place/Update symbols` but it does not work.

If I do `Place/Manually/Advanced settings/List construction` and uncheck `database` and check `library`, Allegro finds `symbol` but with the old design. If I copy-paste `/path/to/symbol.psm`  into `/path/to/symbol_deleteme.psm`, now this new symbol is found by Allegro and it has the modifications. Why does it fail if I don't change the name?
