Description
This is more of a question since I suspect I'm doing something wrong here.
Description
Using paket from fsharp interactive (https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/reference-from-repl.html) doesn't work when running it as a fsx script in dotnet fsi
Repro steps
Paste first and second snippet plus first line in third snippet in https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/reference-from-repl.html into a fsx file (base.fsx)
open System
open System.IO
Environment.CurrentDirectory <- __SOURCE_DIRECTORY__
if not (File.Exists "paket.exe") then
let url = "http://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/stable"
use wc = new Net.WebClient()
let tmp = Path.GetTempFileName()
let stable = wc.DownloadString(url)
wc.DownloadFile(stable, tmp)
File.Move(tmp,Path.GetFileName stable)
#r "paket.exe"
open Paket
// Locate the paket.dependencies file.
let dependencies = Dependencies.Locate(__SOURCE_DIRECTORY__)
// Install a package.
dependencies.Add "FSharp.Data"
Expected behavior
It should work
Actual behavior
error FS0192: internal error: convMethodRef: could not bind to method '"Add"' of type 'Paket.Dependencies, paket, Version=5.241.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
Known workarounds
None at the moment

Research direction
Start by reproducing the snippets from the Paket reference-from-REPL page in base.fsx with dotnet fsi, using the reported .NET SDK environment. Compare the failure at dependencies.Add with the documented workflow; done means the script runs without the FS0192 error and adds FSharp.Data as expected.
