Error with package and package dependency both updating

[pcghusit]

In our case, we have AbcPDF and AbcPDF.AbcGecko, which depends on AbcPdf. Both are flagged as packages to update as seen here:

Updating 3 packages
'ABCpdf' from 11.3.04 to 11.3.7 in 1 projects
'ABCpdf.ABCGecko' from 11.3.04 to 11.3.7 in 1 projects
'IPNetwork2' from 2.5.189 to 2.5.192 in 1 projects

Git checkout 'origin/master'
Using branch name: 'nukeeper-update-3-packages-5522AB1B8600493317E2E4EAA554586C'
Git checkout new branch 'nukeeper-update-3-packages-5522AB1B8600493317E2E4EAA554586C'
Sorted 1 projects by dependencies but no change made

But then when NuKeeper updated AbcPDF, Nuget.exe update also updates AbcPDF.AbcGecko (I ran this locally using Nuget to confirm this is what happens):

Updating 'ABCpdf' to 11.3.7 in 1 projects

Git commit with message '📦 Automatic update of ABCpdf to 11.3.7'

But then NuKeeper doesn't know that AbcGecko was updated, and still attempts to explicitly update AbcPDF.AbcGecko (which, again, is already fully up-to-date from the AbcPDF update). So update doesn't actually change the packages.config file. And then NuKeeper attempts to create a commit, but nothing has changed and we get an exception and the whole thing fails:

##[debug]task result: Succeeded

I feel like the easiest fix to this would be to simply not have an empty commit cause the whole thing to blow up. But I suspect there's a bigger problem with dependencies at play here.

EDIT - I'd also like to know if there's a workaround until a fix is completed and release made.
