`Install-ModuleFast`: Fails to get plan for Plaster (for latest version 1.1.4)

[johlju]

$installModuleFastParameters = @{                             
    Destination          = './output/RequiredModules'
    NoPSModulePathUpdate = $true
    NoProfileUpdate      = $true
    Update               = $true
    Confirm              = $false
}

Install-ModuleFast -Specification 'Plaster' -Plan @installModuleFastParameters -Verbose -Debug

Result:

[!NOTE] Using v0.1.0-rc1

This happened when v1.1.3 and v1.1.4 was installed in a PSModulePath.

When I removed the versions already installed in /Users/johlju/.local/share/powershell/Modules it correctly resolved:

Good catch! I'll take a look.
