error trying to install package provider (for powershell core) #477
Description
I am having packaging problems with powershell core, so I submitted PowerShell/PowerShell#10867. But @iSazonov re-directed me to oneget. I am completely lost as to what is wrong, but I thought I would let you know. Perhaps the most fundamental problem is with get-packageprovider:
PS C:\Users\e27290> gcm get-packageprovider
CommandType Name Version Source
----------- ---- ------- ------
Cmdlet Get-PackageProvider 1.0.0.1 PackageManagement
But when I run it, I get this error:
PS C:\Users\e27290> get-packageprovider
get-packageprovider : Unhandled Exception - Message:'The type initializer for 'Microsoft.PackageManagement.Internal.Utility.Plugin.DynamicType' threw an exception.'

This seems to be a powershell core problem not a oneget problem. (I do not have these problems with powershell.)
