When I run az upgrade on WSL\Bash on my Windows 11 workstation, the command starts as excepted, but then it stops.

Hi @paolosalvatori,

2.55.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.56.0).

If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.

[yonzhan]

Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

Hi @paolosalvatori,

2.55.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.56.0).

If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.

The bot is not very smart: upgrading to 2.56.0 is just what I'm trying to do, but the process remains stuck 😄

I can't find https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/ in your log.
Did you follow this doc to install CLI? https://review.learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?branch=live&pivots=apt

[paolosalvatori]

Hi @bebound, yes, I originally installed Azure CLI on WSL with the following command:

curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash

The upgrade process automatically kicked in when I tried to run a command yesterday. I also tried to explicitly run az upgrade command, but as I said, the process remained stuck. Now, I re-ran the full installation process from scratch: using:

curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash

There is and there was something broken in the installation in my opinion.
