      Using Jenkins 1.642.4, I installed an older version of my plugin from a hpi file using the Jenkins CLI and did a safe restart. When I try to install a newer version of the same plugin using the Jenkins CLI, http://localhost:8080/pluginManager/installed still shows the older version is installed even after a safe restart.

      Manually uploading the files to the server works fine, I can upgrade/downgrade and install any specific version without trouble. There is only an issue when I use the Jenkins CLI

      When installing a plugin manually, it creates a

      {plugin-name}.bak

      file but when I use the CLI it creates a

      {plugin-name}-{version}.bak

      I assume this might be the cause of the issue

          what's the full command line for the CLI you use? No placeholders, everything verbatim including plugin file name.

          The -name argument lets you override the automatically determined plugin name based on the file name.

          Since the plugin has a different file name, it gets installed in addition to the regular one, and then they probably clash, and the wrong one is loaded or something.

          Behavior remains stupid, so let's keep it around as a low priority bug.
