Whilst this is an issue with a cmdlet in a module that is shipped with PowerShell - this is caused by an externally developed module in PackageManagement which is not maintained or developed in this repo and is no longer getting active development as per the readme in it's repo

You may be able to replace use of Install-Package from PackageManagement with commands from PSResourceGet instead, which is currently undergoing active development and is the future replacement for both PackageManagement and PowerShellGet

@kilasuit, PowerShellGet does not have an Install-Package command.

Where can I find detailed information regarding the similarities and differences between a 'module', 'script', and 'package'?
