Upgrade has issues when the package is a dependency of other installed packages #98

Closed ferventcoder closed 9 years ago

From @cobrabr - https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey/issues/625#issuecomment-73960366 :

I'm running into another issue, however: I'm trying to upgrade Git, but since I have posh-git and Git Extensions, running choco upgrade git shows these messages:

Chocolatey v0.9.9.0 Upgrading the following packages: git By installing you accept licenses for the packages. You have git v1.9.5 installed. Version 1.9.5.20150114 is available based on your source(s) Unable to uninstall 'git 1.9.5' because 'gitextensions 2.48, poshgit 0.5.0.201401009' depend on it.

Similar issue with TortoiseGit:

Chocolatey v0.9.9.0 Upgrading the following packages: TortoiseGit By installing you accept licenses for the packages. You have TortoiseGit v1.8.11.0 installed. Version 1.8.12.0 is available based on your source(s) Already referencing a newer version of 'git'.

As suggested by @ferventcoder, I tried running with the --ignore-dependencies parameter, which seems to have worked for TortoiseGit, but didn't for Git.

I think I know what is happening... so the older folder of git had version numbers on it. It's trying to upgrade by removing that folder and moving to git....

@cobrabr try --force and see what happens?

cobrabr commented 9 years ago

Using --force seems to have worked... it's updating right now. Thanks!

Speaking of which: is there a command (or a guideline) to remove the "old" Chocolatey files after installing the new version? My Chocolatey folder is sort of a mess right now... :smile:

I encountered an issue with v0.9.9-rc5 while running choco upgrade all, assuming this might be the same or closely related. It stops further updates from installing, which may or may not be a separate issue.

C:\WINDOWS\system32> choco upgrade all

Also, I'm not sure what this means, but in case it helps in any way (look for the Already referencing a newer version of 'Ghostscript.app'.):

This should work now... as of rc8. This is based on this scenario - https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/blob/master/Scenarios.md#when-upgrading-a-dependency-legacy-folder-version

Closing as fixed.
