Uninstall-PSResourcerefuses to uninstall a package version if any installed module lists it as a dependency — but the check only compares the literal version number recorded inRequiredModules, without distinguishing an exactRequiredVersionfrom a minimumModuleVersion/MaximumVersionrange. As a result, uninstalling a version that satisfies a minimum-version dependency fails even when a newer installed version of the same package would still satisfy that dependency.Root cause
CheckIfDependencyinUninstallPSResource.cstreats any match between the version being uninstalled and the version recorded on the resolvedRequiredModulesentry as blocking, regardless of whether the requirement is a minimum version or an exact version.Changes
RequiredModulesentry (viaImport-PowerShellDataFile) to determine whether the requirement is an exactRequiredVersionor a range (ModuleVersion/MaximumVersion).RequiredVersionrequirements keep the original blocking behavior.IsAnotherInstalledVersionSatisfyingRequirement/GetRawRequiredModuleEntryhelpers to encapsulate this logic.Tests
