I'm trying to update plugins to resolve an existing problem with 5.0.0-alpha2, but getting two different issues:
Updating a specific plugin with `bin/logstash-plugin update logstash-output-rabbitmq` responds with
> Update is not supported for manually defined plugins or local .gem plugin installations, skipping`
Trying to update all plugins with `bin/logstash-plugin update` asks me to confirm a bunch of plugins, and then fails after confirming logstash-filter-fingerprint with
> ERROR: Updated Aborted, message: undefined method `version' for nil:NilClass
So it appears that I'm not able to update any plugins at all. Is this known behaviour?
