Related to NuGet/NuGetGallery#3482
Currently, if the client tries to install a packages from the v3 feed with a dependency containing an invalid version range, it will fail. This is inconsistent with the behavior for v2, which is to simply install the oldest package. Because deleting old, broken packages from the gallery would upset users, and because we cannot guarantee that all feeds following the v3 protocol will implement it perfectly, we should abide by our v2 behavior and warn the user that the package has an issue but install the package anyway.
