Commented Issue: Removing a metapackage upstream triggers an infinite loop when the dependee packages gets updated [3199]

Suppose you have a meta-package called 'Foo' which depends on 'Foo.Bar' and 'Bar.Baz'. Now, if the package maintainer of Foo decides that the meta-package is a bad idea, and decides to drop Foo for a new release, and only update Foo.Bar and Bar.Baz, NuGet gets into an infinite loop (at least when using the Package Manager console 'update-package' command).

This is not so good. Workaround for now is to uninstall the metapackage manually, but it would be good to get this fixed in NuGet.
Comments: can you share the packages? what versions of each package?
