Error with dotnet restore corrupted header

Posted on One min read

I’m trying to compile with dotnetcore 2.0 a project on Linux, but I got this strange error when I run the dotnet restore command.

Figure 1: Error restoring packages

The exact error comes from NuGet.targets and tells me: a local file header is corrupt and points to my solution file. Clearly this project builds just fine on another computer.

Since I’m experiencing intermittent connection, I suspect that nuget cache can be somewhat corrupted, so I run this command to clear all caches.

dotnet nuget locals --clear all

This clear all the caches. After this command run, I simply re-run again the dotnet restore command and this time everything went well. Gian Maria.
