Versions after 2.72.0 is missing on focal amd64 repository

[hrmck]

Describe the bug

Hello team,

Thank you for the ongoing effort of maintaining azure-cli. Recently I have encountered a problem while rotating ARO service principal secrets and I noticed that it has been fixed in 2.75.0.
However, I am unable to update azure-cli from 2.72.0 to 2.75.0.

Related command

sudo az upgrade

Hi @hrmck,

2.72.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.75.0).

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.

Here are some similar issues that might help you. Please check if they can solve your problem.

• az upgrade says update available but ubuntu says I'm on latest version #17726
• DEB package missing for Ubuntu Focal #20023

---

Possible solution (Extracted from existing issue, might be incorrect; please verify carefully)

Solution 1:

It looks like you do not have the Microsoft Azure CLI repo: https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/. Please follow step 1-3 in the documentation to add it and retry az upgrade.

Reference:

• az upgrade says update available but ubuntu says I'm on latest version #17726 (comment)

Solution 2:

We fixed this issue yesterday and the focal package has been released correctly: https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/pool/main/a/azure-cli/

Reference:

• DEB package missing for Ubuntu Focal #20023 (comment)

Solution 3:

On Azure DevOps Ubuntu 20.04 agents we can install the latest version with the following task:

script: |
  sudo apt-get remove azure-cli
  curl -sL https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg > /dev/null
