Brief description of your issue

winget upgrade reports that TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice has an available update from 26.2.2.2 to 26.2.3.2, but the upgrade fails during installer selection because the x64 MSI is rejected by locale matching.

This looks related to, but not fully resolved by, #355183 / #354709. In that older issue, InstallerLocale: en-US caused non-English upgrades to fail and was removed. In the current 26.2.3.2 manifest, the installer entries have no InstallerLocale, but winget upgrade still rejects them when preserving installed locale.

The workaround from #355183 (--locale en-US) did not work here. winget install --force --version 26.2.3.2 did work, which suggests the installer URL/hash and package itself are fine; the failure is specific to the upgrade installer selection path.

Steps to reproduce

On this system:

• Get-Culture: ja-JP
• Get-UICulture: en-US
• Installed LibreOffice version before workaround: 26.2.2.2

Commands run:

winget list --id TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice --exact
winget upgrade --id TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice --exact --source winget --architecture x64 --verbose-logs
winget upgrade --id TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice --exact --source winget --architecture x64 --locale en-US --verbose-logs

Actual behavior

winget list showed the update:

Name                 Id                                Version  Available Source
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LibreOffice 26.2.2.2 TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice 26.2.2.2 26.2.3.2  winget

Both upgrade attempts failed with:

No applicable upgrade found.
A newer package version is available in a configured source, but it does not apply to your system or requirements.

The current upstream 26.2.3.2 installer manifest has x86/x64/arm64 MSI entries but no InstallerLocale fields.

Workaround that succeeded:

winget install --id TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice --exact --version 26.2.3.2 --source winget --architecture x64 --force --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --verbose-logs

That selected the source x64 MSI and installed 26.2.3.2.

Expected behavior

winget upgrade --id TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice --exact should select the compatible x64 MSI and upgrade from 26.2.2.2 to 26.2.3.2.

If these LibreOffice MSI installers are language-neutral/multilingual, the manifest and/or upgrade selection should not reject them solely because InstallerLocale is absent.
