azure --version still reports old version after upgrade using apt-get

See original GitHub issue

This is autogenerated. Please review and update as needed.

Describe the bug

I upgraded to the latest version of azure-cli in Ubuntu, but typing in az --version still shows an older version installed.

I then realized that running az from WSL is actually executing az for Windows.

running this command:

sudo apt-get install azure-cli

I see: Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state information… Done azure-cli is already the newest version (2.14.0-1~focal). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 31 not upgraded.

but when I type:

az --version

I see: azure-cli 2.13.0 *

core 2.13.0 * telemetry 1.0.6

Python location ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\python.exe’ Extensions directory ‘C:\Users\MarcusPowrie.azure\cliextensions’

Hi Feng Zhou,

Thanks. I was surprised to see my Windows host OS path entries mixed into my WSL bash paths - I’ll remove the redundant Windows paths from WSL.
