"MSB4018 ResolveTargetingPackAssets task failed unexpectedly" after updating to 5.0.103

Description

After updating dotnet to 5.0.3 via dnf update, I’m finding myself unable to build any project resulting in the error:

Regression?

Initially, I believed this was a dotnet 5.0.103 issue due to it starting after updating to said version but after testing .103 to .100 with all giving the same error, I’m starting to think it might be my system which is acting up (why I’m not sure of)

Other information

I checked the folder which the error refers to and found /usr/share/dotnet/packs/Microsoft.NETCore.App.Ref/5.0.0/data to be empty, no FrameworkList.xml exists. I’ve also attempted reinstalling dotnet multiple times clearing dnf cache in-between reinstalls

Downgrading the dotnet-sdk-5.0 package did not work for me, had some other problems then (probably because dotnet-host and other packages where not downgraded). So I resolved this by doing the following:

1. remove any dotnet packages with sudo dnf remove dotnet*
2. disable the Microsoft Prod repo (done this via Software UI)
3. install dotnet-sdk-5.0 (and 3.1 in my case because I still need it in some projects) by running sudo dnf install dotnet-sdk-5.0

Now I am on 5.0.102 and all is working again. Is there a difference between the packages from the microsoft prod repo and the ones from the Fedora Updates repo? Are the fedora ones maintained by Microsoft?

Edit: I once again removed all packages and reinstalled them again using the ms prod repo. Now everything seems to work fine with the latest version: sudo dnf install dotnet-sdk-5.0.x86_64 dotnet-sdk-3.1.x86_64 --repo packages-microsoft-com-prod

dotnet --info output:

@dseefeld @crummel can what @Kampfmoehre suggested about version numbers be done? This seems like yet another manifestation of distro-native / ms feed coexistence https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/47500
