flutter doctor -v crashes from Dart.jar archive error

[brendan-duncan]

I'm the author of the archive library, which flutter doctor is using. I was informed about flutter doctor -v failing because it fails decoding Dart.jar with the archive library, brendan-duncan/archive#177.

The problem was because Dart.jar had an archive comment that was not a valid string, and the library wasn't robust about catching that. I updated the archive library to 3.1.8 to catch that error. But I don't know how to update flutter's pub cache to make sure it's using the latest version of the library for flutter doctor to verify the fix with flutter.

I have attempted to upgrade packagers using flutter update-packages --force-upgrade but there are cache issues from dds and not all packages are migrated

Were guys able to solve this issue? If yes, can you specifically explain how you go about doing it? I am new to Flutter and I am encountering the same problem. Your answer will be a big help. Thanks a lot.
