Updating to 2.0.0 results in error about PackageManagement update clobbering its own commands

[rkeithhill]

Expected Behavior

That install-module powershellget -force from an admin prompt works without any errors.

Current Behavior

PowerShellGet isn't updated and I get this error:

09-15 10:35:46 3> Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force
PackageManagement\Install-Package : The following commands are already available on this system:'Find-Package,Install-Package,Uninstall-Package'. This module 'PackageManagement' may override the existing commands. If you still want to install this module 'PackageManagement', use -AllowClobber parameter.
At C:\program files\powershell\6\Modules\PowerShellGet\PSModule.psm1:9491 char:21
+ ...          $null = PackageManagement\Install-Package @PSBoundParameters
+                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Microsoft.Power....InstallPackage:InstallPackage) [Install-Package], Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandAlreadyAvailable,Validate-ModuleCommandAlreadyAvailable,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackage

Possible Solution

It seems like there should be special case handling of PackageManagement installing (updating) to avoid the clobber error (and having to use -AllowClobber).

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Install PS Core 6.1 on a clean Windows 10 machine.
2. Start PS Core elevated
3. Try to update-module PowerShellGet

update-module : Module 'PowerShellGet' was not installed by using Install-Module, so it cannot be updated.
At line:1 char:1
+ update-module PowerShellGet
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (PowerShellGet:String) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ModuleNotInstalledUsingInstallModuleCmdlet,Update-Module

4. Try install-module PowerShellGet:

WARNING: Version '1.6.7' of module 'PowerShellGet' is already installed at 'C:\program files\powershell\6\Modules\PowerShellGet'. To install version '2.0.0', run Install-Module and add the -Force parameter, this command will install version '2.0.0' side-by-side with version '1.6.7'.

5. Ok, try install-module PowerShellGet -force:

PackageManagement\Install-Package : The following commands are already available on this system:'Find-Package,Install-Package,Uninstall-Package'. This module 'PackageManagement' may override the existing commands. If you still want to install this module 'PackageManagement', use -AllowClobber parameter.
At C:\program files\powershell\6\Modules\PowerShellGet\PSModule.psm1:9491 char:21
+ ...          $null = PackageManagement\Install-Package @PSBoundParameters
+                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Microsoft.Power....InstallPackage:InstallPackage) [Install-Package], Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandAlreadyAvailable,Validate-ModuleCommandAlreadyAvailable,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackage

6. Sigh, try install-module PowerShellGet -force -allowClobber:

WARNING: The version '1.1.7.2' of module 'PackageManagement' is currently in use. Retry the operation after closing the applications.

OK this is getting frustrating

7. Close and re-open PS Core as admin and run install-module PowerShellGet -force -allowClobber again:

WARNING: The version '1.1.7.2' of module 'PackageManagement' is currently in use. Retry the operation after closing the applications.

But at least this time 2.0.0 appears to have installed:

2.0.1 version of PowerShellGet module includes the fix for this issue.

@X-Guardian As mentioned above, this issue got resolved in 2.0.1 version of PowerShellGet. This is a known issue when you try to install the latest version of PowerShellGet from its previous versions (<2.0.1). It looks like you are trying to install the latest version using 1.6.7 version. This issue should not happen when you install the future versions from >=2.0.1.

Anyone have the UPDATED PowerShellGet.psd1?

[SydneyhSmith]

The most updated psd1 can be found here: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellGet/blob/development/src/PowerShellGet/PowerShellGet.psd1 And the most recently published psd1 can be found here: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PowerShellGet/2.0.3/Content/PowerShellGet.psd1

[pjamesburwell]

Why didn't that update all this time? I ran the update and it's still 1.0.

[SydneyhSmith]

@pjamesburwell I want to make sure I understand the issue. Can you please share the output (maybe a screenshot) when you run: Update-Module PackageManagement, PowerShellGet ,
Get-InstalledModule PackageManagement, PowerShellGet , and $PSVersionTable
