Details:

When an unknown package name is used in uninstall, all names in the pkg list
disappear:


>> pkg list
Package Name  | Version | Installation directory
--------------+---------+-----------------------
      divand  |   1.1.2 |
C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.0-rc1\share\octave\packages\divand-1.1.2
          ga *|  0.10.0 |
C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.0-rc1\share\octave\packages\ga-0.10.0
          io  |   2.2.7 |
C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.0-rc1\share\octave\packages\io-2.2.7

>> pkg uninstall nopackagenamedthis
warning: some of the packages you want to uninstall are not installed
>> pkg list
no packages installed.
>>



The installed files all appear to still be there.
It happens in Windows and in Linux - although appears to be just global
installed packages that disappears, which is what the windows packages default
to.
