Unable to uninstall packages installed via URL

Problem

I did:

soar install --no-verify https://api.beeper.com/desktop/download/linux/arm64/stable/com.automattic.beeper.desktop

which installed it fine it seems, however the fedora gnome launcher does not show its icon properly.

However, I recognised that it would not open, because I used the arm64 url instead of the x86 url, as doing:

soar install --no-verify 'https://beeper-desktop.download.beeper.com/builds/Beeper-4.2.892-x86_64.AppImage'

worked and opens fine, sans for the same icon issue

I've tried several ways to uninstall, and just couldn't figure it out.

Expected behavior

# soar remove https://api.beeper.com/desktop/download/linux/arm64/stable/com.automattic.beeper.desktop
[WARN] Package https://api.beeper.com/desktop/download/linux/arm64/stable/com.automattic.beeper.desktop is not installed.

despite doing install saying it is installed:

# soar install --no-verify 'https://beeper-desktop.download.beeper.com/builds/Beeper-4.2.892-x86_64.AppImage'
[WARN] beeper#beeper-desktop.download.beeper.com.builds.beeper-4.2.892-x86_64.appimage:local (4.2.892) is already installed - skipping
Hint: Use --force to reinstall, or --show to see other variants
No packages to install

I also tried deleting it from "/home/balupton/.local/share/soar/packages but that seems to have messed up soar, so I restored them.

For uninstall, you'd need to only provide package name, or version separated by @ instead of -.

soar r com.automattic.beeper.desktop

# OR
soar r com.automattic.beeper.desktop@unknown
