When i call nuget pack I get this error:

$ NuGet Pack Package.nuspec
Attempting to build package from 'Package.nuspec'.
Cannot create a package that has no dependencies nor content.

Any solution?

Verbose log:

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot create a package that has no dependencies nor content.

@danialfarid - Typically that is due to an 'invalid' nuspec. In the case of nuget on OSX/linux, try using '/' on the path names rather than ''. Also, there is a bug on OSX where you need to specify the -BasePath argument to point the the path of the Nuspec file (It should default to this, but doesn't on OSX).

On MacOS the command "dotnet add package Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL --version 2.0.0"
gives the error for me "error: Unable to find package Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL with version (>= 2.0.0)"

Could you please advise how to solve it?
