I'm trying to install a nuget package - NGenerics.1.4.1 from nuget.org (https://www.nuget.org/packages/NGenerics/) into a ASP.NET 5 project (website). Package Manager fails with UriFormatException. After that a reference is added into Reference folder in the Solution Explorer but with yellow triangle ('warning').
The error added into the Error List: "Dependency NGenerics >= 1.4.1.0 could not be resolved".
I also tried to install from a local folder registry.
Here's the bug on msconnect.
I wonder whether somebody experienced the same issue as I couldn't find anything in google. Also any workarounds are welcome.
Package Manager's Output:
Installing NuGet package NGenerics.1.4.1.
Successfully installed 'NGenerics.1.4.1' to Samples.AjaxDemo2.

Finally I found out what was wrong. I had ".nuget\NuGet.config" file somewhere above of my solution in folder structure.
That NuGet.config contained a package source with relative file path:
<configuration>
<packageSources>
<add key="local" value="..\..\..\Release"/>
</packageSources>
</configuration>
As I removed that packageSource Package Manager in VS started working.
It's kinda ridiculous.
Hope it helps somebody not to loose so many hours as me.
