--latest argument doesn't work in interactive mode

[kidonng]

pnpm version:

5.13.4

Code to reproduce the issue:

Install any package that is not the latest, and try to update it through pnpm update --latest -i.

Update: Looks like this bug only affects global packages, so please refer to the screencast for reproducing:

Screencast:

Screen.Recording.2020-11-24.at.13.18.56.mov

Expected behavior:

The package is updated.

Actual behavior:

pnpm reports Already up-to-date.

Additional information:

• node -v prints: v15.2.1
• Windows, macOS, or Linux?: macOS 11.0.1

Seems like this also happens on similiar commands, such as pnpm install-completion:

[Cansiny0320]

any fix on this issue？

[silver886]

Same here,

node: v14.18.1
pnpm: 6.24.2
OS: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1415]

and

node: v17.2.0
pnpm: 6.24.2
OS: macOS 10.15.7 (19H1519)

And it seems like #3779 is the same.

Hopefully this will be fixed in pnpm v7, which will use a more deterministic global folder location.

Version 7.1.9 is still the same :(

And looks like #3720 has similar symptoms.
