NUnit.Console is not used by any project in the template (it is not referenced in any paket.references file). Its only effect is to introduce NUnit.Extension.TeamCityEventListener as a transitive dependency, which is an unlisted NuGet package and triggers a paket warning for new users. Microsoft.NETCore.App is similarly unreferenced and is a deprecated package targeting an old runtime (2.2.8). This removes both packages from paket.dependencies and regenerates paket.lock with paket 9.0.2, removing 11 no-longer-needed entries. Addresses the unlisted-package warning reported in #387.

Addresses the unlisted-package warning reported in #387.
Root Cause
paket.dependenciesin the template's Test group included two packages that are not referenced by any project:NUnit.Console— not in anypaket.referencesfile; its only effect is to bring inNUnit.Extension.TeamCityEventListeneras a transitive dependency. That package is marked unlisted on NuGet.org, causing paket to emit a warning on everypaket installorpaket update.Microsoft.NETCore.App— also unreferenced; targets an old runtime (2.2.8) and has been deprecated.Fix
Remove both packages from
templates/content/basic/paket.dependenciesand regeneratetemplates/content/basic/paket.lockwithdotnet paket install(paket 9.0.2). This removes 11 lock-file entries:Microsoft.NETCore.App,Microsoft.NETCore.DotNetAppHost,Microsoft.NETCore.DotNetHostPolicy,Microsoft.NETCore.DotNetHostResolverNUnit.Console,NUnit.ConsoleRunner,NUnit.Extension.NUnitProjectLoader,NUnit.Extension.NUnitV2Driver,NUnit.Extension.NUnitV2ResultWriter,NUnit.Extension.TeamCityEventListener,NUnit.Extension.VSProjectLoaderThe template tests still use
Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk,NUnit, andNUnit3TestAdapter— everything needed to rundotnet test.Trade-offs
None. The removed packages were unused dead weight in the template.
Test Status
The paket lock file was regenerated cleanly with
dotnet paket install. The template file set (paket.dependencies + paket.lock + paket.references) is internally consistent. Full integration testing (installing the template viadotnet new) was not run, but the change is minimal and mechanical.
