Description

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

Package is published with nuspec specifying

<dependencies>
  <dependency id="MyPackage" version="1.0.0" />
</dependencies>

Find-PSResource incorrectly sets the maximum version as 1.0.0 too, resulting in Save-PSResource not finding "MyPackage" with version 2.0.0.

This goes against MSFT documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/concepts/package-versioning?tabs=semver20sort#version-ranges

Find-Module and Save-Module work correctly.

Tested with Azure and locally hosted https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/hosting-packages/nuget-server

(Find-PSResource -Name MyPackage -Repository LocalPSRepo -IncludeDependencies).Dependencies.VersionRange

Expected behavior
