Originally created by @redflitzi on GitHub (Jan 10, 2025).

I use .net 8 and got the current packaging.targets tools 0.1.232 over a existing older one, using Nuget.

Installing then one-by-one gives the following message:
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-zip
says
Tool 'dotnet-zip' is already installed
The same for -tarball, -rpm, and -deb.

Ok. When I then try to install the tools one after the other, like
dotnet zip install
the following message occurs:

You must install or update .NET to run this application.

App: /home/vscode/.dotnet/tools/dotnet-zip
Architecture: x64
Framework: 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '6.0.0' (x64)
.NET location: /usr/share/dotnet

The following frameworks were found:
  8.0.1 at [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]

To install missing framework, download:
https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?framework=Microsoft.NETCore.App&framework_version=6.0.0&arch=x64&rid=linux-x64&os=debian.12

I cannot find a way to overcome this. I do not want to install .net 6 framework.

I have no access to /home/vscode/.dotnet/... as I am working on a github vscode codespace, and therefore cannot simply delete the dotnet-zip and similar tools in the folder.

What must I do to get it running?
