Presently on Debian supported distributions are .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 6 according to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-debian#supported-distributions. Verified with the following environment, the issue was not reproduced anymore for both .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 6. The first run of dotnet new and creating project worked well.
