Bug description
When running mas outdated I receive a couple of popups regarding "Redownload Unavailable with This Apple Account"
I do have a couple of applications installed that are owned by a different Apple ID than the one I am currently logged in with, however this popup only used to show on mas upgrade which was expected.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior with mas outdated --accurate* using apps that are undownloadable or owned by another Apple Account, then compare it with mas upgrade. Trace the code paths responsible for the error dialogs; done means outdated no longer opens those dialogs while the expected upgrade behavior remains unchanged.
