Incorrect version comparison link in metro command output

[ErickMaeda]

Hello!

When starting the Metro server with the react-native start --reset-cache command, it suggests updating the React Native version. However, the link provided for the upgrade comparison always compares the latest version with itself, instead of comparing the latest version with the current version being used in the project.

For example, in the output below, the current project is using version v0.73.8, and the latest available version is v0.74.2. The correct link should compare v0.73.8 with v0.74.2. Instead, the link compares v0.74.2 with itself.

react-native start --reset-cache

hey @ErickMaeda, that's really strange! Could you please remove CLI's cache, and run react-native start --verbose and send over an output? It'll help a lot with debugging.

CLI's cache is stored under /Users/username/Library/Caches/react-native-cli, removing this directory should reset entire cache 👍

Same issue happened to me , can't find "Caches/react-native-cli".

hey @comic222, your issue seems to be different and I'm not sure if I understand it correctly - if it still happens please open a new one with relevant description etc.
