Prompts to upgrade from 2.50.0 to 2.51.0, then fails to upgrade (MacOS)

[mkheck]

Describe the bug

Running az upgrade on a 2.50.0 install of azure-cli on MacOS results in following:

az upgrade
This command is in preview and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus

Your current Azure CLI version is 2.50.0. Latest version available is 2.51.0.

Please check the release notes first: https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure/release-notes-azure-cli
Do you want to continue? (Y/n):

Updated 1 tap (homebrew/cask-fonts).

Warning: azure-cli 2.50.0_1 already installed
CLI upgrade failed or aborted.

In an effort to resolve this, I've completely uninstalled the azure-cli, deleted the ~/.azure directory, and reinstalled az using homebrew as prescribed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-macos

Same results.

NOTE: This is a significant problem because because it affects scripting. As an example: I have creation/configuration scripts I use, and I have several upcoming sessions at a partner conference showcasing Azure Spring Apps etc. Those scripts fail at key points due to the prompt inserting itself into the results (e.g. --query queries assigning values to env vars). This would seem to indicate that customer's production scripts could also be affected, at least in certain circumstances.

Hi @mkheck,

2.50.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.51.0).

Please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.

2.51 is not available on homebrew, see #27047
Please disable autoupgrade az config set auto-upgrade.enable=no
Duplicate of #27091

Hi @bebound, that stops the "forced" upgrade but this message still applies with every command executed:

You have 3 update(s) available. Consider updating your CLI installation with 'az upgrade'

Still, progress. 👍

I disabled all updates for now. az config set auto-upgrade.all=no

Your CLI is up-to-date.

Close as 2.52.0 is available in Homebrew.
