Brief description of your issue

I installed vim.vim (currently at v. 9.1.1039), but afterward, winget thinks I have vim.vim.nightly installed and therefore offers to "upgrade" it (to v. 9.1.1071).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install vim.vim (only when the vim.vim.nightly version doesn't match, I presume).
  2. Do winget list vim and/or winget upgrade

Expected behavior

Package is shown as vim.vim and no upgrade is offered.

Actual behavior

Package is listed as vim.vim.nightly and an available upgrade is shown.
