ocm download cli not working like expected

[morri-son]

What happened:
ocm download cli specified without any parameters, just using the defaults, fails with error message

❯ ocm download cli
updating OCM CLI command at /Users/D032990/go/packages/bin/ocm
Error: error processing "ocm.software/ocmcli": ocm.software/ocmcli: invalid component version reference: repository "ocm.software/ocmcli" is unknown

specifying the standard repo/component another error pops up, saying that my ocm binary in the PATH is no folder, which is correct ;-)

❯ ghcr.io/open-component-model/ocm//ocm.software/ocmcli```

Trying to use the -c to give a version constraint, fails with the exact same error. Since it is not described what format the constraint needs to have and no example is given.

Specifying an output folder via option -O at least download the cli, but does this for ALL versions, not the one specified in the constraint (by the way, why is the option called -c and not simply -v as it is about the version of the cli to be downloaded???)

What you expected to happen:
Download the CLI like described in the description and replace the existing version in the PATH if it exists and no option -O has been given.

Download an OCM CLI executable. By default, the standard publishing component and repository is used.

  The option «-O» is used to declare the output destination.
  The default location is the location of the «ocm» executable in
  the actual PATH.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Just try a ocm download cli on the command line.
