[.NET 6] Don't support wildcard for the template version

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

Install a custom template using version with wildcard in .NET 6 is not working.

To Reproduce

Let’s consider that you have a custom template published to you Azure DevOps Package and you have below version:

PackageSample -> 3.0.0
PackageSample -> 3.0.1
PackageSample -> 3.10.0
PackageSample -> 5.0.0

Prior to .NET 6 if you want to install the latest version available for PackageSample version 3, you can do: dotnet new -i "PackageSample::3.*" It will install version 3.10.0 or any updated version available

Exceptions (if any)

But in the .NET 6 we get an error saying: The following template packages will be installed: PackageSample::3.* PackageSample::3.* is not supported.
