Details:

Since a few days, when listing the OF packages with "pkg list", loaded global
packages aren't shown with an "*" asterisk.
The last installed version where it worked fine was a tip from Oct. 8.

That some globally installed packages are loaded is easily verified using
"which <some_loaded_package_function>"

:
              nurbs  |  1.3.13 |
...\mingw64\share\octave\packages\nurbs-1.3.13
                ocs  |   0.1.5 | ...\mingw64\share\octave\packages\ocs-0.1.5
            octproj *|   1.1.5 | C:\Users\philip\octave\octproj-1.1.5

>> which actxserver
'actxserver' is a function from the file
C:\Programs\Octave\Octave-6.0.0_20191018L\mingw64\lib\octave\packages\windows-1.3.1\x86_64-w64-mingw32-api-v53+\__COM__.oct
>>


Formally I think it's a regression but this bug is merely cosmetic.
