Forced uninstall of package and dependencies w/ meta package dependency throws error

[dragon788]

What You Are Seeing?

Attempting to force uninstall a package and the dependency(ies) it pulled in fails if one of the dependencies is a meta package. This doesn't seem to fail if not forced.

What is Expected?

Uninstalling a package with --force-dependencies removes the meta package and the packages it pulled in, AND the dependencies of the package it pulled in without exploding.

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

Can be reproduced via this Gist.

Output Log

I built the Gist on AppVeyor to make sure it wasn't just my local "Chocolatey Test Environment" VM, this is like a gazillion lines, so may take a bit to load.
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/dragon788/7a7524ddc2946b2b5d114ce615465697/build/1.0.2

The failure occurs right after this:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/dragon788/7a7524ddc2946b2b5d114ce615465697/build/1.0.2#L337

This is the beginning of the debug output, "here be dragons".
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/dragon788/7a7524ddc2946b2b5d114ce615465697/build/1.0.2#L641

Here is the meat (what little there is) of the failure, this is the uninstall of the package and its dependencies.

This certainly is something we'd want to fix.

[ferventcoder]

I'm guessing the relevant part is

javaruntime v8.0.101 (forced)
 Skipping auto uninstaller - No registry snapshot.
elasticsearch not uninstalled. An error occurred during uninstall:
 Could not find a part of the path 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\javaruntime\javaruntime.nupkg'

Which makes me think it is #1040

[dragon788]

@ferventcoder Yeah, I looked at #1040 when you mentioned it on Gitter and as far as I can tell from the logs the casing isn't actually different here, but it's the same error message. Perhaps there is too strict of an equality comparison happening on the strings and it is blowing up in some way?

[ferventcoder]

That's kind of what I was thinking.
