Describe the bug
Azure CLI has dropped support for some environments:
- Ubuntu < 18.04, Debian < 10 ([Packaging] Bump embedded Python to 3.10 for deb packages #22170)
- CentOS 7, RHEL 7, SUSE ([Packaging] Drop CentOS 7 RPM package #23047)
- Python < 3.7 ([Packaging] Drop Python 3.6 support #23102)
However, in those environments, az --version still shows there are available updates:
[root@ae6b254e11cf /]# az -v
azure-cli 2.38.0 *
core 2.38.0 *
telemetry 1.0.6 *
Dependencies:
msal 1.18.0b1
azure-mgmt-resource 21.1.0b1
Python location '/usr/bin/python3.6'
Extensions directory '/root/.azure/cliextensions'
Python (Linux) 3.6.8 (default, Nov 16 2020, 16:55:22)
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)]
Legal docs and information: aka.ms/AzureCliLegal
You have 3 updates available. Consider updating your CLI installation with 'az upgrade'
This because Azure CLI checks the latest version from source code on GitHub repo, instead of corresponding package repo:
azure-cli/src/azure-cli-core/azure/cli/core/util.py
Lines 299 to 303 in 8357f17
To Reproduce
Lauch a CentOS 7 docker container and install Azure CLI:
docker run -it --rm centos:7
rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
echo -e "[azure-cli]
name=Azure CLI
baseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/azure-cli
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" | tee /etc/yum.repos.d/azure-cli.repo
yum install azure-cli
az --version
Expected behavior
az --version shouldn't show available updates in those environments.
