Uninstall by ID fails with incorrect message when multiple versions are present
Brief description of your issue
One one of my machines a number of different versions of some apps are installed:
I thought I would be able to uninstall all versions by ID and then uninstall only the most recent, but uninstalling fails in that case:
My analysis is that winget cannot determine which of the installed versions to uninstall, but the message is obviously incorrect.
Uninstalling by name works, albeit with somewhat confusing output:
Steps to reproduce
Attempt winget uninstall --id with multiple copies of the same app (with the same ID) are present.
Expected behavior
The operation should fail with a message similar to 'Multiple packages with ID xxx are present'.
Actual behavior
winget uninstall incorrectly states that no installed package matches the specified ID.

Is there a solution to this? I have multiple versions of the same application installed:
$ winget list -q pulumi
