Description

Suppose I have two groups Build and Test that depend on the same package Newtonsoft.Json:

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

nuget FSharp.Core

group Build

  nuget Newtonsoft.Json

group Test

  nuget Newtonsoft.Json

Is there a way to specify that both groups must have the same version of Newtonsoft.Json, without specifying an exact version?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Paket's handling of dependency groups and version constraints, then determine how groups could share a resolved package version without an exact version requirement. Done means Paket supports and verifies the requested cross-group constraint.
