@rsavaliyagit Thank you for the information, but could use a bit more,

Are you able to share the results of the sfdx doctor command?

If not, could you return the command agains with the --json flag, so a stack trace can be captured

Does the version create work with the sfdx force:project:create:version command?

attached the result of doctor command.

Hi @peternhale just checking if you have any update on this issue?

[peternhale]

@rsavaliyagit The issue has been located and corrected. The change was made in packaging library. We hope to have that version include in the plugin commands in this week's latest-rc release of sfdx-cli.

[rsavaliyagit]

@peternhale thanks for the quick response. what date is the release of sfdx-cli in this week ?

[peternhale]

@rsavaliyagit we typically release each Thursday.

[Charles-Revelle]

@peternhale can we get confirmation that a fix for this bug is planned for tomorrow (Thursday 11/10)? I work with @rsavaliyagit and we have several deployments dependent on this.

[rsavaliyagit]

Hi @peternhale Let us know the latest-rc version # once it's available. Thanks!
