nuget install command line "Unable To Resolve Dependency" error

Question

I'm running the following nuget install command line command (indented for ease of reading)

nuget.exe install 
    "Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.OpenApi" 
    -Version 1.4.0 -Source [our internal feed source] 
    -Framework "net6.0"
    -OutputDirectory "packages"
    -NonInteractive

And it's reporting:

Unable to resolve dependency 'Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Script.Abstractions'

The package Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Script.Abstractions appears to exist when I browse to in in nuget package manager, and I'm using the the version of nuget.exe (6.2.1.2 at the time of writing).

Answer 1

The problem was that the dependency was a pre-release version.

Stipulating the -prerelease command-line flag fixed this issue.
