Vcpkg: Found both manifest and CONTROL file in port

Created on 19 Sep 2020 · 8Comments · Source: microsoft/vcpkg

I'm using vcpkg search ffmpeg command, but it output an error says
Found both manifest and CONTROL file in port F:\vcpkg\ports\3fd; please rename one or the other
I deleted the CONTROL file, and run that command again. But it pops up again:
Found both manifest and CONTROL file in port F:\vcpkg\ports\abseil; please rename one or the other
I deleted that too. But it seems lots of packages have that issue so that I can't use the search function.
I want to know what is calling those issue and how can I fix it at once.

Sounds like the copy of vcpkg may be corrupt in some way...
I would suggest creating a new clone and go from there.
A port can have either a CONTROL (old being phased out) or vcpkg.json (new being phased in) file, but not both.
In a case where both exist, it seems when the git pull is done to refresh the clone, it is not deleting the CONTROL file on the ports upgraded.
Maybe the userid being used does not have delete authority to files/directories in vcpkg tree structure???

We suggest to use 'git pull' to get the latest source. @UnknownObject000, could you create a new clone and try again?

@UnknownObject000, please reopen this issue if the problem persist.

@PhoebeHui 'git pull' does not work.
The command line output as follows:
