Description

Hello Team,
I have encountered below issue. Details follow below -

  • I searched for Terraform Package using winget

winget search terraform

Image

  • Then Installed Terraform using winget.

winget install --id=Hashicorp.Terraform -e --accept-source-agreements

  • Terraform version installed is 1.4.4 and not latest.

terraform -version

Image

  • I tried upgrading with Winget. It states "No Available Upgrade found"

winget upgrade --id Hashicorp.Terraform

Image

I suspect, if HashiCorp.Terraform on winget might still be pointing to an old MSI installer or manifest for v1.4.4.

Can you please check and address the issue.

Looking forward.
Many Thanks
Best Regards, Arindam Mitra

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported winget search, winget install --id=Hashicorp.Terraform -e, terraform -version, and winget upgrade --id Hashicorp.Terraform commands. Compare the installed 1.4.4 result with the package's available version and identify what package metadata or manifest controls that result; done means the package installs the intended latest Terraform version and offers an upgrade when appropriate.
