Unable to install ambiguous package

[vladdeSV]

If I try to pkgx install nvim (neovim.io), I get the error:

$ pkgx install nvim
× multiple projects provide: nvim
│ pls be more specific:
│
│     pkgx +lunarvim.org install nvim
│     pkgx +neovim.io install nvim
│
╰─➤ https://docs.pkgx.sh/help/ambiguous-pkgspec

However, the command pkgx +neovim.io install nvim fails:

$ pkgx +neovim.io install nvim
install: missing destination file operand after 'nvim'
Try '/Users/vladde/.pkgx/gnu.org/coreutils/v9.4.0/bin/install --help' for more information.

My guess is that install isn't interpreted as the built-in command, and is using that package instead.

EDIT: Using pkgx 1.0.1 on macOS 14.0

Maybe unrelated to issue, but using x causes odd (but similar) behaviour.

$ nvim
^^ type `x` to run that

$ x
env +nvim && nvim

│
│     pkgx +lunarvim.org --internal.use +nvim

Im assuming the following.
Its simply fuzzy matching.
Both neovim and lunarvim export the nvim command.
So yea you must be more specific.

However the help and install command seems to be broken. and can reproduce.

pkgx +neovim.io install

❯ pkgx +neovim.io install nvim
install: missing destination file operand after 'nvim'
Try '/Users/yoro/.pkgx/gnu.org/coreutils/v9.4.0/bin/install --help' for more information.

I think these are issues of the help command. The install should be pkgx install neovim.io. The --internal.use one is more interesting. Scanning that code, it's quite clear to me yet what the right fix is, but I'm sure @mxcl will weigh in.

pkgx install neovim.io was the command I needed!

Leaving it up to you smart people to figure out what is up with the help command 😇

yeah I need to special case the help text for install. Soz.
