Description
Description
I have project specific references files and these were working, but they no longer work in the latest version of Paket.
Repro steps
Download Visual Studio solution from https://github.com/Bikeman868/OwinFramework.Pages
-
Run the Install.cmd batch file
-
Inspect the output and see that most of the projects were skipped.
Expected behavior
Where projects have a {project-name}.paket.references file the project should have its references updated.
Actual behavior
Projects with corresponding {project-name}.paket.references file are not updated by paket install.
Known workarounds
None.

Research direction
Start by downloading the OwinFramework.Pages solution linked in the issue, running Install.cmd, and comparing the skipped projects with install.log. Trace how Paket handles {project-name}.paket.references during install. Done means projects with matching reference files have their references updated instead of being skipped.
