[Bug][3.38.2]: flutter reports incorrect version number after flutter upgrade on Windows, but framework revision is updated #178772
Description
Steps to reproduce
- On a Windows machine, start with Flutter SDK version 3.38.1 on the stable channel. The latest version available is 3.38.2.
- Open a terminal (e.g., PowerShell).
- Run the command flutter upgrade and let it complete.
- After the process finishes, run flutter doctor -v.
Expected results
After a successful flutter upgrade, running flutter doctor -v should show that the Flutter version is updated to 3.38.2, and the framework revision should correspond to this new version (e.g., f5a8537).
Actual results
The flutter doctor -v command reports a mismatch:
The Flutter version is still reported as the old version, 3.38.1.
The Framework revision is b45fa18, which corresponds to version 3.38.1.
However, the output also states that this version was released "14 hours ago," which aligns with the release time of the new version 3.38.2, not 3.38.1.
