Help in narrowing down issue with package not being added

Hi,

I've got a fairly big, complex solution (65 projects) the source of which I cannot share (work). In that solution I have a problem with a specific package not being added to a specific project, despite it appearing in paket.references etc. (While if I add a PackageReference to the project file, it works, so it's not a compatibility issue. There are also no error messages from paket.)

I tried to create a repro of this issue, but it turns out my original assumptions - that it has to do with the mix of net5 and netstandard2.0 projects and that specific package - was not correct.

Now I am a bit at a loss about how to proceed - is there any information/logs/whatever I can look at to try and narrow down the issue, other than performing a binary search of removing half the projects from the solution, check whether the problem is still there etc.?

Thanks,

Start from the reported Paket setup: a 65-project solution using paket.references, with net5 and netstandard2.0 projects and a package missing from one project. First gather the requested diagnostic information or logs and reduce the private solution to a minimal reproducible case; done means identifying why Paket omits the package or documenting the missing diagnostics needed to proceed.
