When trying to import the powershell-yaml module I am getting: Could not find file '/usr/lib/powershell/ref/System.Private.CoreLib.dll' error.

powershell-yaml version 0.4.7 PS /root/.local/share/powershell/Modules/powershell-yaml/0.4.7> Import-Module powershell-yaml Add-Type: Could not find file '/usr/lib/powershell/ref/System.Private.CoreLib.dll'.

Please let me know what might cause this issue?

Interesting. There may be something wrong with the powershell installation on that system. It should definitely be able to find System.Private.CoreLib.dll. We don't really directly reference that file anywhere, but it's probably a dependency for YamlDotNet or for somethign we import in the $stringQuotingEmitterSource. Powershell tries to load that assembly and fails because it can't find it. It probably exists on your system, just in a different path.

If you find it and simlink it to where it expects to find it (probably along with the entire folder), it will probably work.

If you're still getting this error, please try the latest pre-release:

Install-Module -Name powershell-yaml -AllowPrerelease -Version 0.4.8-rc1 -Force

Closing this for now. Feel free to re-open if the issue persists.
