[WibbletheDuck]

Description

System-wide Paket install fails with error FS0192: internal error: null: convTypeRefAux , with note CACHING ERROR - please open a issue on FAKE and /cc @matthid.
Initially reported on Paket fsprojects/Paket#3625 since it's their installation script, but they said I should indeed come here. @matthid

Versions:

I'm completely new to this whole ecosystem, so I may be confused as to what I'm supposed to be installing, but this seemed like it should work.

I think this should be solved with the next release (5.16) as we upgraded FSharp.Compiler.Service

[Thorium]

Any ideas what happened here?

[matthid]

@Thorium Consider upgrading to the new Fake 5 runner ;)

[Thorium]

Thanks for the quick reply. This is an old library and I'm not maintainer, just wanted to help others with a PR, but that goes too complex now.

[matthid]

@Thorium Well apparently not even the latest version of fake 4 is used:

Downloading FAKE 4.62.1 (Build)

Latest is: 4.64.17
And even better is the latest version of this package (which shouldn't be breaking)

[Thorium]

Didn't help...

It's probably easier to rewrite the build (ie create a new script and copy over the code one by one) then trying to get that old state running again.
