In .NET 11 RC 1, when a requested package version doesn't exist, NuGet restore only searches package sources for the "next best" (lowest higher) version — versions present only in the global packages folder are no longer candidates. This can change which version is selected, or turn an NU1603 warning into an NU1102 error.
