Can't upgrade a package whose version number is unknown

[yume-chan]

Brief description of your issue

winget list -s winget shows I have rustup installed but the version number is unknown (because it was installed manually, not from winget)

> winget list -s winget --id Rustlang.Rustup
Name                                 Id              Version Available
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rustup: the Rust toolchain installer Rustlang.Rustup Unknown 1.25.1

But when I try to upgrade it via winget upgrade --id Rustlang.Rustup -s winget, it shows this error:

> winget upgrade --id Rustlang.Rustup -s winget
This package's version number cannot be determined. To upgrade it anyway, add the argument --include-unknown to your previous command.

So I did what it says, but it still doesn't work

> winget upgrade --id Rustlang.Rustup -s winget --include-unknown

I also tried the install command instead:

> winget install Rustlang.Rustup -s winget
Failed in attempting to update the source: winget
Found an existing package already installed. Trying to upgrade the installed package...
This package's version number cannot be determined. To upgrade it anyway, add the argument --include-unknown to your previous command.

> winget install Rustlang.Rustup -s winget --include-unknown

Argument name was not recognized for the current command : '--include-unknown'

Steps to reproduce

1. Run winget upgrade --id Rustlang.Rustup -s winget --include-unknown

Expected behavior

It upgrades (reinstalls) the package from winget.

Actual behavior

It outputs Incompatible command line arguments provided

I'm not sure if this is due to some of the other arguments.

Can you try winget upgrade Rustlang.Rustup --include-unknown?

It would also help if you could share logs.
