Description github 2016-10-24 03:12:15 UTC
`plasmapkg2 --type kwinscript` -r always says "Plugin ${pluginName} not installed" when uninstalling a plugin, if you up the version and replace `-r` with `-u` you get the same thing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd directory/containing/kwinscript
2. plasmapkg --type kwinscript -i .
3. plasmapkg --type kwinscript -r .

Actual Results:  
The kwinscript is still installed.

Expected Results:  
The kwinscript should be removed by `plasmapkg --type kwinscript -r .`

Here's the output of me installing a script, uninstalling it, and then attempting to reinstall it again:

```

```

You can see the files are left behind after the "remove". The `-r` argument specifies that it takes the name, but specifying that instead of the path leads to the same results. It seems that it should accept the path though as it manages to resolve the path to the name.
