Description

We made some changes to detect non-tool packages in RC.2. These changes relied on APIs supported by NuGet, but 3rd party feeds like Artifactory do not necessary support these (#43651). We're rolling back the changes for GA and will consider a different approach for 9.0.2xx. We've since identified additional issues that require further investigation and discussions.

Impact

Users are unable to install tool packages properly when using 3rd party feeds and some global tool operations may fail as well. There is no workaround for this.

Since the linked issues mostly mentioned Artifactory as 3rd party, I wanted to also mention GitHub packages as not working. Just ran into it when upgrading our GitHub actions from RC1 to RC2. Will stick with RC1 for now as workaround.

Also the error message was not helpful, "X is not a tool" where in reality the http request to the feed was returning 401
