I am trying to create a Nuget package from my project following this guide http://docs.nuget.org/docs/creating-packages/creating-and-publishing-a-package
I have successfully created a nuspec and nupkg. My project contains a dependency to Json.NET which I installed via Nuget. However, I want to specify a specific version of Json.NET to use, version 4.0.7. I added the below to my nuspec:
<dependencies>
<dependency id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="[4.0.7]" />
</dependencies>
When I run nuget pack it seems to detect I have a packages.config
Using 'MyProject.nuspec' for metadata.
Found packages.config. Using packages listed as dependencies.
This seems to completely ignore my defined dependency in the nuspec as installing the Nuget package lists the dependencies as >= 4.0.7 which pulls in the latest version 4.0.8.
How can I stop this or preferably keep Nuget pulling in dependencies from the packages.config but allow me to overwrite specific dependencies?

Right-click the Packages folder in the project, and select Update. This will update the NuGet package to the latest version. You can double-click the Add packages and choose the specific version.
If used, packages. config must be located in a project root. It's automatically created when the first NuGet operation is run, but can also be created manually before running any commands such as nuget restore .
In Visual Studio, use the Help > About Microsoft Visual Studio command and look at the version displayed next to NuGet Package Manager. Alternatively, launch the Package Manager Console (Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console) and enter $host to see information about NuGet including the version.
I hit the same issue. You need to define an exact version like this
<dependencies>
<dependency id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="[4.0.7,4.0.7]" />
</dependencies>
So that will ensure when the project pulls in the dependencies it will be = 4.0.7 not >= 4.0.7

The way you specified your version is correct; as shown in our versioning docs, [1.0] means 'version == 1.0'. The behavior you're describing would be a bug, but I couldn't reproduce the bug. What I did:
nuget spec
<dependencies><dependency id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="[4.0.7]" /> to the .nuspecnuget pack
Perhaps you aren't using the latest version of nuget.exe or the NuGet Visual Studio extension? When you say it "lists the dependency", where are you seeing that? When your package is installed, in Package Explorer, or somewhere else?
