Chocolatey Provider should return only one entry to Oneget's Install-Package

[JohnLudlow]

I tried to install VirtualBox using the Windows 10 PackageManagement Install-Package cmdlet, but got this error:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> install-package virtualbox
WARNING: 'virtualbox' matched package 'virtualbox/5.0.14.105127' from provider: 'Chocolatey', source 'chocolatey'

Clearly, I want to install VirtualBox. I got around this by using Find-Package and piping into Install-Package, but this shouldn't really be necessary. I noticed similar issues with npm and 7zip.

I raised an issue on Oneget:OneGet/oneget#169. The folks over there feel that Chocolatey is returning multiple results in this situation when it should return one - most likely, the package that matched the name exactly.

I agree. The problem here is that we don't have a provider available yet for OneGet, so YMMV on whatever it is that you are using, likely the CTP built by MS in April 2014. I would suggest you use the official choco client for now and wait for us to announce official OneGet support (which we expect to have sometime this summer). We'll announce it in the newsletter. Thanks!

Ok, will do

Ready yet? ;P

Thanks!

PS: Do you want to close this issue or leave it open for now?

[ferventcoder]

Let's keep it open in case other folks come across this issue. :)

Sounds like a plan

Thanks again
