I'm quite new to NuGet Package building and publishing so maybe there's something I'm doing wrong, but I can't figure out what is it.

I have a VS2022 solution which contains my reference projects. "Project A" is being published locally on my.network as a NuGet package (not on nuget.org).

Another solution which I'm currently working on, uses that Project A package via NuGet. The problem is: on NuGet.org there's another package with the same name, so when I open Package Manager window the Update tab shows me an available update for that project - but that's not my package because it comes from nuget.org. The "silly fix" is obviusly to change package source from the combobox, instead of "All" I set "local" and then the correct package is found.

What am I missing here? Project A is set with "sign package" on properties, if that matters.

I think you can try to change the name of your Project A, it will be a good choice to solve this problem.

If you don't use the packages from nuget.org you can uncheck this source in Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager > Package Source:

You can search the version of your package like this:
