Description
Description
Repro steps
We have a solution file that references 5 projects. 4 back end and 1 front end. The front end project has its own paket.dependencies file.
The projects are located like this
root
|- paket.dependencies
|- app.sln
|- api
|-BE1
|- BE2
|- BE3
| - BE4
|- app
|- paket.dependencies
|- FE
In the situation where there's no paket.lock file in the front end folder a paket update in the root folder will result in Paket failed with -> dotnet restore "app.sln" failed. The reason being that it tries to restore the dependencies for the FE project but finds no paket.lock file
Expected behavior
The paket.lock file should be created for both paket.dependencies files
Known workarounds
First do a paket update in the FE folder for the local paket.dependencies then go to root and repeat

Research direction
Reproduce the failure from the root paket.dependencies and app.sln, with the second paket.dependencies under app and no app/paket.lock. Start by running paket update in the root, then compare it with the documented workaround of updating from app first. Done means a root update creates or updates paket.lock for both dependency files without dotnet restore failing.
