Description

Brief description of your issue

winget lists an available upgrade for k6 but then doesn't let me actually install it. Instead, it just keeps complaining that the upgrade is available.

Steps to reproduce

winget upgrade lists the following:

Name Id    Version Available Source
-----------------------------------
k6   k6.k6 0.50.0  0.51.0    winget
1 upgrades available.

Then attempting winget upgrade k6.k6 gives this:

No applicable upgrade found.
A newer package version is available in a configured source, but it does not apply to your system or requirements.
Expected behavior

If an upgrade is listed as available, it should be installable.

Actual behavior

The upgrade is listed as available but then refuses to install.

Research direction

Use the reported winget upgrade and winget upgrade k6.k6 commands as the entry points, then reproduce on the stated Windows and WinGet versions. Compare why the listing treats k6 0.51.0 as available while the install path rejects it; done means an advertised upgrade can be installed or is no longer listed. No source file or test is identified in the report.
