Description
Please confirm these before moving forward
- I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
- I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.
Category of the issue
Installation issue.
Brief description of your issue
´winget remove -e --id DominikReichl.KeePass´ installs version 2.58
´winget remove -e --id DominikReichl.KeePass --scope user´ installs version 2.55
Please update the manifest such that newer versions can also be installed in user scope. This leaves users without admin privileges vulnerable.
Steps to reproduce
´winget remove -e --id DominikReichl.KeePass´ installs version 2.58
´winget remove -e --id DominikReichl.KeePass --scope user´ installs version 2.55
Actual behavior
´winget remove -e --id DominikReichl.KeePass´ installs version 2.58
´winget remove -e --id DominikReichl.KeePass --scope user´ installs version 2.55
Expected behavior
´winget remove -e --id DominikReichl.KeePass´ installs version 2.58
´winget remove -e --id DominikReichl.KeePass --scope user´ installs version 2.58

Research direction
Locate the DominikReichl.KeePass manifest in the winget-pkgs repository and inspect how its installer handles user scope and version selection. Reproduce both commands from the issue, then update the manifest so user-scope installation selects version 2.58 and verify both expected outcomes.
