Nuget bug I ran into with solution level packages and dependencies

If your using nuget and have a solution level nuget package you wish to add to a project, install-package will install your package as suggested, however update-package wont work as it wont find the nuget package your trying to update, this is only the case if the solution level package contains any dependencies, remove your dependencies and update-package does work.

This appears to be a bug, the obvious way to get around it is to use uninstall-package then install-package but its a bug none the less, I spent some time trying to get around this.

I was hoping this would have been fixed in nuget version 2.8 but it hasn’t been as yet.
