Description

Description

It's more a question than bug. I can understand it if it by design, but is is quite annoying.

I'm trying to target .net core 1.1 but some resolved packages are .net core 2 only.

Repro steps

Use this paket.dependencies:

source https://www.nuget.org/api/v2

framework: netcoreapp1.1
storage: none

nuget Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
Expected behavior

Paket would help me by getting Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection 1.1.2 which compatible with "netcoreapp1.1".

Actual behavior

It is referencing Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection 2.0.0 which is "netcoreapp2.0" only.

Known workarounds

I can use "~> 1" of course, but it gets a little bit tedious if there are more assemblies like that.

Research direction

Use the supplied paket.dependencies with framework netcoreapp1.1 and the Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection dependency to reproduce the resolution. Compare the selected 2.0.0 package with the expected 1.1.2 compatibility rule; done means the resolver avoids netstandard2.* packages for netcoreapp1.* targets without requiring a manual ~> 1 constraint.
