net8.0-windows: Most transitive dependencies are not included in paket.lock

[sajagi]

Description

When using framework: net8.0-windows, some transitive dependencies are not included in paket.lock.

This also means paket show-installed-packages --all won't show transitive packages.

Reproducible with paket 8.0.3 and 8.1.0-alpha004.

Repro steps

Using the following paket.dependencies file:

framework: net8.0-windows

source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

nuget Newtonsoft.Json.Bson

will result in following paket.lock file:

RESTRICTION: == net8.0-windows7.0
NUGET
  remote: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
    Newtonsoft.Json.Bson (1.0.2)

Compare this to e.g. net6.0-windows (expected behavior):

RESTRICTION: == net6.0-windows7.0
NUGET
  remote: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
    Newtonsoft.Json (13.0.3)
    Newtonsoft.Json.Bson (1.0.2)
      Newtonsoft.Json (>= 12.0.1)

Known workarounds

Using net8.0 instead of net8.0-windows works as expected, but it obviously includes other packages needed for other platforms.

net8.0-windows10.0.17763.0 works as expected.

Some transitive dependencies are, rarely, included.

Probably related to DotNet8WindowsVersions not having generic V10 (and possibly V7 and V8 since these are not officially supported but work most time nevertheless).

This is still an issue with Paket 9.0.2

[sajagi]

No longer an issue in 10.0.0-alpha011, closing.

EDIT: It is still an issue.

It's still an issue, unfortunately.
