Previously titled: "Does Chocolatey know when a program updates itself?"

Assume that I have installed a program such as Google Chrome or Telegram via Chocolatey:

choco install googlechrome
choco install telegram

Many programs such as these are known to update themselves, often silently and simply by a restart of the program.

Does Chocolatey know that a program has updated itself check whether a program is already the latest version before attempting to upgrade?

Or does it have some internal record-keeping that tells it that an out-of-date version is still installed (and thereby running choco upgrade will attempt to install the version that is already installed)?

Note that this question is about a different issue.

Short answer - it does not. Longer answer - syncing with the current version installed is something on our list to do.

Once you install a self-updating application, you may want to pin the version in Chocolatey so that it no longer attempts to upgrade it with choco.
