Whenever I try to use the Save-Package commandlet, the download fails due to dependencies. For example, downloading Autofac (this happens for any module I've tried, not just Autofac):

save-package Autofac -Path C:\Users\TheDoctor\source\repos\Test -ProviderName Nuget
WARNING: Unable to find dependent package(s) (Microsoft.NETCore.Platforms)
WARNING: Unable to find dependent package(s) (System.Formats.Asn1)

WARNING: Unable to find dependent package(s) (Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces)
Save-Package: Unable to save the package 'Autofac.6.5.0.nupkg'.

The warnings take minutes to display. In most cases I've examined, the listed dependencies are available on nuget.org.

Another example of the problem I'm experiencing:

save-package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore -Path C:\Users\TheDoctor\source\repos\Test -ProviderName Nuget -RequiredVersion 6.0.10
WARNING: Dependency loop detected for package 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore'.
Save-Package: Unable to save the package 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.6.0.10.nupkg'.

Error was reported after more than 20 minutes.

At least one operation succeeded. From the samples:
Save-Package -Name NuGet.Core -ProviderName NuGet -Path C:\LocalPkg

All other packages I've tried still fail as described above.
