packet pack fails if paket.references contains an unknown reference

[michael-baker]

Very minor issue.

If you create a solution with two projects. Project A and B.
Project B depends on Project A.

If you attempt to run

paket.exe pack buildconfig "Debug" buildplatform "AnyCPU" output ..\..\Bin

against Project B where Project B has a paket.references defined as

nuget ProjectA

Then the packaging process will fail

Paket version 2.52.3.0
Paket failed with:
The given key was not present in the dictionary.

This is because the solution level paket.dependencies doesn't contain an entry for ProjectA.
It would be nice to have a friendly error message rather than the generic key not found exception in this case. However I do accept this is user error :)

zip which reproduces the issue is attached.

nuget ProjectA is actually not correct syntax in paket.references.
It would be correct to inly write ProjectA - but I see this as a common mistake and made the parser accept this.

So now you will see the correct error message.

True, I released my error with including the "nuget" prefix text shortly after posting.
Cool! Thanks for the tweak 👍
