Description
In the event of a package install fail please can you do a quick version check against the current version and if the version is out of date suggest that the user runs choco update first before contacting the package owner.
Ideally you could run a check after each package install like npm to help the user stay up to date & avoid security issues.
This would also save embarrassing support calls to the package owner for choco newbies like myself. 😁

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by tracing the package-install failure and normal install paths in choco. Define how the current version is obtained and when the update suggestion appears, then cover both requested paths with tests; done means users receive an actionable suggestion without contacting package owners.
