Winget can't update program with dependencies

[Shockingrivs]

Brief description of your issue

When updating yt-dlp, winget will install the dependency Gyan.FFmpeg, and continue to yt-dlp but finishes the program before it can install it and also blocking the next packages in queue, when prompted to install all packages yt-dlp will still be fisrt in queue and repeating until uninstalled and reinstalled.

Steps to reproduce

1. install a previous version of yt-dlp that can be updated.
2. type the command winget update -r -u -h

Expected behavior

download and install yt-dlp and Gyan.FFmpeg uodates and continue updating the other packages

Actual behavior

download of Gyan.FFmpeg, check the hash of the program and extracting the files, then abruptly stoping and returning to the command prompt.

I can agree with this problem, especially this package, but it seems there also other packages with don't get updated correctly, like IrfanSkiljan.IrfanView for example.

A short look into the log shows, that winget is first updates the package yt-dlp, and afterwards the package Gyan.FFmpeg which seems a bit weird as the dependency is updated after the package which requires it. 🤪
After the dependency is checked and launched the real package isn't called again

Debug_Log_Winget.txt

Also the real file of yt-dlp isn't available in the in the downloaded cache directory %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\WinGet

I came to report the exact same problem with the exact same pacakges.

Even if I uninstall both packages, then install ffmpeg (winget install gyan.ffmpeg), and then install yt-dlp (winget install yt-dlp.yt-dlp) it looks like it re-installs ffmpeg again.

It didn't run first this time. Odd that it talked about dependencies first, and then again last. It did install those other 3 packages I had. After install I checked the version

yt-dlp --version
2024.10.07

It did not update.

Problems with the interoperation of yt-dlp.yt-dlp and Gyan.FFmpeg have been documented for some time:

• [Package Issue]: Gyan.FFmpeg is still broken, as are many other command line tools winget-pkgs#120360
• [Package Issue]: yt-dlp.yt-dlp hard depends on Gyan.FFmpeg and no ability to use shared ffmeg winget-pkgs#138665
• [Package Issue]: yt-dlp.yt-dlp does not complete the update to version 2024.07.01 winget-pkgs#161349
• [Package Issue]: Gyan.FFmpeg winget-pkgs#181353

This impacts my personal laptops as well. Sometimes, issues with Gyan.FFmpeg would cancel the entire winget upgrade --all process. One of the packages might be having an installation issue, but as a feature request, the package manager should be robust enough to handle and recover from this.
