[Bug]: hwinfo stopped updating #16361

Description

Prerequisites

  • I have written a descriptive issue title.
  • I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.
  • I have verified that I am using the latest version of Scoop and corresponding bucket.

Package Name

hwinfo

Expected/Current Behaviour

The current version of hwinfo is 8.32, but scoop is not detecting it since 8.30 update. Additionally 8.30 gives 404 on install which will probably be moot once the update is fixed.

Run scoop install hwinfo
Observe that version 8.30 is trying to be installed (and fails)
Expected 8.32 (as of the time of writing)

Steps to Reproduce

scoop install hwinfo
Installing 'hwinfo' (8.30-5800) [64bit] from 'extras' bucket
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
URL https://www.sac.sk/download/utildiag/hwi_830.zip is not valid

Possible Solution

It looks like something changed upsteam with hwinfo that require updating hwinfo.json here to match. In order to sovle this:

  1. Find out why hwinfo version is no longer updating
  2. Fix hwinfo.json applying information found in step 1 to resolve the issue
  3. Verify that after the fix an installation of scoop that is on hwinfo 8.30 currently successfully updates to 8.32 or later
  4. Verify that a fresh installation can install actual latest hwinfo successfully
