Description

Prerequisites
  • Write a descriptive title.
  • Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version

Steps to reproduce

Finding a resource from a V3 server repository does not populate the Dependencies property of the PSResourceInfo. Installing dependencies from a V3 server repository will only install parent, not dependencies.

Expected behavior
Should find or install dependencies
Actual behavior
For Find, the `Dependencies` property is not populated, for Install, the dependencies are not installed.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue against a V3 server repository, focusing on PSResourceInfo returned by Find and dependency installation performed by Install. Trace how dependencies are handled for these two operations; done means Find populates Dependencies and Install installs the parent and its dependencies.
