Found a “workaround” ?

Installed AngleSharp from nuget.exe, then install-package but specifying -SkipDependencies

nuget install AngleSharp Install-Package ‘AngleSharp’ -Scope ‘CurrentUser’ -Source ‘Nuget.org’ -SkipDependencies `

PSVersion 7.1.4 PSEdition Core

If this helps others.

As written @HerbM it will fail on all machines. System.Text.Encoding.CodePages is one of the dependencies of AngleSharp, and this one has a problem.

So as long as this is not fixed in System.Text.Encoding.CodePages all dependent packages such as AngleSharp will keep failing, too.
