paket.local source+version override - IO error when used multiple times

See original GitHub issue

Description

Two projects (old fsproj format, net461). One depends on the other via nuget package. CI will put a different build number, so I use the paket.local source override with specific version to match local.

When restoring the first time after the local override, this works with the following message:

Paket version 5.91.0
paket.local override: nuget ImaginedCloud.Common group Main -> ..\infrastructure\deploy version 0.1.0

The next time restore runs it will error with the following msg:

Paket version 5.91.0
paket.local override: nuget ImaginedCloud.Common group Main -> ..\infrastructure\deploy version 0.1.0
Something went wrong while downloading ImaginedCloud.Common 0.1.0

Repro steps

Use paket to add a nuget package to a project. Create paket.local file with source override (not sure if version use matters) Run restore 2x - first should succeed, second should fail.

These specific projects are in a private feed, but it should be an easy repro. If you can’t repro let me know and I can throw together a simple repro with a public package.

Expected behavior

Should correctly restore the override without error when ran multiple times.

Actual behavior

Fails with error message in description above.

Known workarounds

Deleting the folder for the overridden version inside of the .nuget\packages\PackageName\ folder, will allow restore to grab the latest package override.
