issues with Omnisharp and the fedora version of dotnet-sdk-5.0

[Rune Elvemo]

If I install the dotnet-sdk-5.0 package from the Microsoft repository,
everything works fine.
However, when I run 'dnf update', and the fedora packages are installed,
Omnisharp fails when I start Visual Studio Code. If I run 'dnf history undo
last', everything works again.

I noticed that an extra package was installed when updating to the fedora
repository dotnet packages: dotnet-templates-5.0.

This sounds like: https://github.com/dotnet/source-build/issues/2006.

Can you share the error messages from OmniSharp? That will help us
understand if it's the same issue or not.

For some context, we added support for OmniSharp to 5.0, but we only
verified it for "console" project types. We didn't realize until very
recently that OmniSharp needs specific assembly/dll files for specfic
project types. Turns out that OmniSharp is broken with Blazor and
ASP.NET Core project types.

We don't have a fix yet, but we are looking at this issue.

Thanks,
Omair
