NuGet: Description is Required
Just got a new error message after updating to ASP.net MVC 3 RC2 which seems to contain a new NuGet version (displays as 1.0.10128.89 in Visual Studio Extension Manager).
Any attempt to install a package - be it through 'Add Library Reference' or through PowerShell Install-Package - displays an error message: Description is required.
Turns out that one of the nuspec files has indeed an empty <description /> tag. Sadly, that breaks the entire repository.
The solution is to put in a description and rebuild the nupkg. In parallel, I have filed a bug on CodePlex in the hope that a single broken package does not break the entire Repository anymore.
