Hi
I have created a brand new Blazor Server project .NET Core 3.0 (released version) and added Telerik.UI.for.Blazor 2.1.0. When I go to publish the app (Self-contained to a folder) it fails.
There are numerous errors that relate to "package downgrade detected xxx from 4.3.0 to 4.0.1"
Is this a known issue?
Here's an example of one of the errors:
SeverityCodeDescriptionProjectFileLineSuppression State
ErrorDetected package downgrade: System.IO.FileSystem.Primitives from 4.3.0 to 4.0.1. Reference the package directly from the project to select a different version.

Hi George,
This is not a known issue and my best guess is that the hosting environment does not yet support .NET Core 3. The fact that deploying requires you to downgrade packages indicates that the newer packages are not available on the hosting server.
I just tried to publish two apps to folders (a server one and a client one) and things went well. What I did was to right click on the Server project and select Publish, then choose a folder on my machine. In both cases I get the .exe file for the server project that I can run and it effectively hosts the app so I can access it in the browser. I am attaching those projects here so you can compare against them.

Unfortunately the problem returned. I resolved it by installing the Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyModel 3.0.0 package directly in my project.
Telerik.DataSource 1.2.0 has a dep on Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyModel >= 2.1.0. If The 2.1.0 package is used it causes a kind of diamond dependency problem.
Hello George,
Thank you for bringing this up and for posting your solution.
I have added an item in our backlog to investigate those reference and to, probably, update them to the latest. It is not an easy decision because we have to consider whether we need to always be at the latest and how that could affect other projects and packages. I fear that in the end there will be no correct answer, and some issue with dependencies will always exist. We are, after all, in the dependency hell phase of software development.

No problem. The way Transitive deps are handled now makes this difficult to spot. It might be worth including a packages.lock.json file with example projects. It takes away one (of the many) pain point at least.
