Description

IDE's 1.8.4 and 1.8.5 keep offering the same AVR package despite it being the (presumed) current 1.6.20.

Probably just needs a small change.

Research direction

Reproduce the repeated AVR package offer in Arduino IDE 1.8.4 or 1.8.5 with core version 1.6.20, then trace the package update flow; the issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Done means the current AVR package is not offered repeatedly when it is already installed.
