@sighupper you're manually invoking ./krew-darwin_arm64 install –that's not what you think it does. The command at https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user-guide/setup/install/ specifically uses Krew to install Krew. So please stick to the command (which does ./"${KREW}" install krew).

If it still fails even by copy pasting the exact command, please provide the full output (and ideally run the last command with -v=7 flag).

Ideally we should remove this code path though so it stops causing issues.

@ahmetb , thank you for your response.

I am following https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user-guide/setup/install/

Here is running the commands as suggested in the above install guide:

>   KREW="krew-${OS}_${ARCH}" &&
>   curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/krew/releases/latest/download/${KREW}.tar.gz" &&

[chriskim06]

to get this error you would need to have a plugin installed without any receipts https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/krew/blob/master/internal/receiptsmigration/migration.go#L36-L39. on a fresh install though there would be no plugins installed yet (since this runs before the actual install of krew). since !(hasInstalledPlugins && hasNoReceipts) is false in your case you must have no receipts but an installed plugin somehow. could you show the output of ls for both /Users/mdavidson/.krew/bin and /Users/mdavidson/.krew/receipts?

[sighupper]

So, I am using an ansible playbook for set up and it is throwing:

Install krew plugin manager for kubectl...  failed | msg: non-zero return code | stderr: This version of Krew is not supported anymore. Please manually migrate:
1. Uninstall Krew: https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user-guide/setup/uninstall/
2. Install latest Krew: https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user-guide/setup/install/
3. Install the plugins you used
krew home outdated

This even fails if mv /Users/mdavidson/.krew/bin{,.bak} and mv /Users/mdavidson/.krew/receipts{,.bak}.

That said, if I even mv those , then the set up guide steps work when doing them "manually".

I will work on my playbook and circle back here if I have need any help.

Thank you!

@chriskim06 I have nothing installed other than in my OP. Have you tried an install on a clean virtual machine? It does not work :-(
