update failed.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the official channel for these kind of requests. If not please redirect me to where I should address this.

scoop stopped updating itself and apps without any further error message.

> scoop update -a
Updating Scoop...
Update failed.

Networking works just fine.
I dunno how to debug this since it does not print any error output. Also there seems to be no --debug or --verbose flag or similar

Aha, sorry, that's a tag conflict error. Please run git tag v0.5.3 -d in your scoop dir (scoop\apps\scoop\current) and then run scoop update again.

Any tips on howto debug this kind of error besides "just knowing"?

In scoop dir and run git pull, find what's wrong there.
