This PR fixes an issue where
winget upgrade
would show packages for upgrade even when the exact version was already installed.Problem
If multiple versions of a package are installed (e.g., via different channels),
winget upgrade
doesn't correctly match all installed versions. It may show an upgrade even if a matching version is already installed.Fix
This fix iterates over all installed versions and uses the first one that matches the available version and channel. If a match is found, it skips the reinstallation.
Impact
Prevents redundant upgrade suggestions and improves reliability of
winget upgrade
.Fixes #2960
