Got the same Problem in toolbox on Linux Fedora Workstation 32 after installing dotnet-sdk-3.1 without errors.
Solved it by:

Looking up the directory the packages should be installed in using dotnet --info:
Output excerpt:

    Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 3.1.3 [/usr/lib64/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
    Microsoft.NETCore.App 3.1.3 [/usr/lib64/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]```
Note that the other packages are in `/usr/lib64/dotnet/shared/`

Download the corresponding sdk-versions archive from https://aka.ms/dotnet-download as suggested by the error, extract the archive and find a folder sdkalongside shared
Copy the content of thesdk-folder to respective /path/to/dotnet/sdk

After that, dotnet --info looks like

@TobiasNils something funny is going on here.

Got the same Problem in toolbox on Linux Fedora Workstation 32 after installing dotnet-sdk-3.1 without errors.

Did you install from the Microsoft repository? Fedora 32 includes .NET Core 3.1 in the main Fedora repositories. Installing dotnet-sdk-3.1 using just the plain Fedora repositories should get you everything you need.

Note that the other packages are in /usr/lib64/dotnet/shared/

So that's the Fedora package. It installs to /usr/lib64/dotnet.

Download the corresponding sdk-versions archive from https://aka.ms/dotnet-download as suggested by the error, extract the archive and find a folder sdk alongside shared

That installs the bits built by Microsoft next to the bits built by Fedora. The two things are built differently. They may use different (native) compiler settings. They may be using slightly different verisons of runtime packages. This is something that no one really tests and might blow up at any moment.

I would suggest using either the Microsoft packages for .NET Core, or the Fedora packages for .NET Core. Mixing them is probably not a safe thing to do.

TobiasNils · 2020-04-23T17:18:38Z

Good point, thanks for that. I had been following this guide. Installed the microsoft repo and then effectively with installing dotnet-sdk-3.1 I got "everything" but the sdk (also, no templates).

I just setup a new toolbox and went right to installing dotnet-sdk-3.1 and everything works :)
Thanks again!

mairaw · 2020-04-23T17:47:07Z

@MrPaul3 can you please paste the output of dotnet --info? I'm wondering if you just installed the runtime but not the SDK.

TobiasNils · 2020-04-23T17:58:47Z

I just setup a new toolbox and went right to installing dotnet-sdk-3.1 and everything works :)
Thanks again!

EDIT: I don't know if this is the right place anymore, but in the toolbox container, dotnet run throws this error:

/usr/lib64/dotnet/sdk/3.1.103/NuGet.targets(123,5): error : '32 (Container Image)' is not a valid version string. (Parameter 'value') [/home/nils/WorkSpace/myApp/myApp.csproj]

In the normal fedora shell, after installing from the fedora repositories, the whole tutorial works.

dagood · 2020-04-23T18:01:49Z

@TobiasNils you might be hitting #3909. MSBuild passes all env vars in as MSBuild properties, and NuGet doesn't take kindly to a version prop being set.

omajid · 2020-04-23T18:34:02Z

We have hit this in Fedora before too: https://pagure.io/dotnet-sig/dotnet-3-0/issue/9. Please feel free to describe how reading in all env vars (including VERSION) and initializing msbuild properties with them is a bad idea at dotnet/msbuild#2713

TobiasNils · 2020-04-24T06:58:33Z

It was indeed the VERSION=32 (Container Image) env var set in toolbox, where I had installed the the microsoft repo. Deleting the toolbox and setting up a new one did not clean this up.
unset VERSION inside the (new) toolbox did.
Thanks so much!

This is based off the existing instructions for Fedora 31, with a few changes: - .NET Core (3.1) packages are part of the default package repositories in Fedora. No extra repositories need to be enabled to be able to install .NET Core 3.1. - Only 3.1 is available in the Fedora package repositories. So I added a comment suggesting users to install other SDK/Runtime versions manually. The other versions need to be a manual install because mixing dotnet packages from package repositories is a bad idea. For example, it might pull down sdk bits built by Microsoft but everything else built by Fedora. And that doesn't work: dotnet/core#4605 - The package manager troubleshooing comments are all specfic to the Microsoft repository. I have removed them.

Same problem here, just after update to Fedora 32.
With Fedora 30/31 I installed MS packages and all works perfect, after upgrade to F32 stop working.
dotnet --info output is:

To Solve this, I uninstall all dotnet packages already installed. Then i disable all Microsoft dotnet repos (installed following Net Core web page instructions), then install package dotnet-sdk-3.1.x86_64 from Fedora 32.
Now it works.

dotnet --info ouput it's now:

My only doubt is if Fedora will maintain this packages update with future updates or new versions.

Anyway good work , Fedora

omajid · 2020-04-29T18:19:41Z

My only doubt is if Fedora will maintain this packages update with future updates or new versions.

Speaking as a fedora maintainer: I am sure we will. We do this for other compilers and runtimes like Clang, GCC, OpenJDK, Python and Ruby. I don't see why .NET Core will be an exception.

Anyway good work , Fedora

Thanks, but this wouldn't been possible without the help of all the amazing dotnet maintainers/developers on github here, especially the https://github.com/dotnet/source-build/ folks.

Wonderfull to hear that!! And yes, thanks too to dotnet team.

mairaw · 2020-05-14T01:06:17Z

The issue went to a different tangent it seems. I imagine that the Fedora issues are way different than that same error message on Windows.

I'd be inclined to close this issue since we never heard back from the original author of the thread.
@dagood do we still need a tracking issue for Fedora or does the docs issue cover this?

dagood · 2020-05-14T04:03:33Z

Agreed on both counts. The Fedora 32 issue is unrelated to the Windows problem in the original post, and without more info there isn't anything we can do there.

For the Fedora 32 problem, dotnet/docs#18347 has a link back to this thread as an example of a thing we should help with in the Microsoft Fedora 32 docs, and I don't see anything else in this thread that needs more tracking.

Just piping in that I am also running into this on Ubuntu 16.04.4 x64. I don't have a global env variable VERSION set.

@jensechu can you please get a binlog (http://aka.ms/binlog, so we can diagnose) and open a new issue? More info on that in #4491, which we unfortunately couldn't follow up on because we didn't get diagnostic info. It was similar: NuGet version issue, but unset version didn't help.

jensechu · 2020-05-14T05:25:35Z

@dagood Sure! I will do this when I wake up tomorrow, sorry. 😄 Thanks for your attention.
