Fixes #181

I haven't investigated why this would happen in the first place, but I guess it could if you install a beta version.

Is that a bug in https://github.com/sindresorhus/latest-version?

Is that a bug in sindresorhus/latest-version?

Not sure, but I don't think so, since I've seen this problem happen on non-beta versions too.

Yeah the 2 comments were unrelated. I think latest-version could return a version older than its supposed to, I don’t know what else could be happening. Is it still cached here?

Hi,

Not sure it's related but we got those messages reported here:

facebook/docusaurus#4782

Any idea what could be happening?

Looks like this bug is caused by the async nature of this package: fetch the update, and only notify about it on the 2nd run.

As I have my own code to notify users, I think I should just backport your logic to my own notifier.

Wouldn't it make sense to somehow "erase" this.update data if on 2nd run we detech packageVersion is > latest fetched version? This could fix the issue in a more generic way?

Looks like this is a bug in update-notifier, but they [smoothed it over](yeoman/update-notifier#192) with a change that was deployed in [`5.0.0`](https://github.com/yeoman/update-notifier/releases/tag/v5.0.0). We’re currently on `4.1.0`.

This can cause an update notification for a PREVIOUS version, like so:

```
$  vc --version
> UPDATE AVAILABLE Run `npm i -g vercel@latest` to install Vercel CLI 24.2.5-canary.3
> Changelog: https://github.com/vercel/vercel/releases/tag/vercel@24.2.5-canary.3
Vercel CLI 24.2.5
24.2.5
```

While we're here, also sets the [`updatecheckinterval`](https://github.com/yeoman/update-notifier#updatecheckinterval) to 1 week.
