Paket conflicts with pinned prerelease version

[Stift]

Description

When I want to update a dependency, paket stops with a version conflict. This seems to be introduced with 2.66.8

Repro steps

1. The minimal dependency file
   nuget npgsql 2.2.5-custom
   nuget CustomPackage

The custom package has a dependency on npgsql >= 2.0 < 3.0 and npgsql is a custom build version by us.

1. paket install works fine
2. paket update works fine as well
3. paket update nuget CustomPackage crashes with the following error message:

Paket failed with:
        There was a version conflict during package resolution.
  Resolved packages:
   - CustomPackage 1.0.10047
  Could not resolve package npgsql:
   - Dependencies file requested package npgsql: 2.2.5-custom
   - CustomPackage 1.0.10047 requested package npgsql: >= 2.0 < 3.0

  Please try to relax some conditions.

Expected behavior

the dependency resolution should end without any error message as the npgsql package is in the scope of the dependency constraint of the CustomPackage

Actual behavior

Error message as above.

Known workarounds

Downgrading to paket 2.66.7
