How do I create a package that depends on a package that "targets projects"?

I am trying to create a chocolatey package. I initially created a version that did not have any dependencies and I simply put an exe file in the tools/bin directory and then made a simple nuspec file, and this correctly would install the exe file to the path, which is all I need for this internal tool.

However, the project has now been restructured so that it depends on an external dependency. The dependency is a nuget package which is in the same repository as the main project. To add the dependency, I added it to the dependencies section. The project itself in Visual Studio is also dependent on the same. Here is my nuspec file: (I removed some data, marked by rm, but it should not affect it. Everything else is the same)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Do not remove this test for UTF-8: if “Ω” doesnt appear as greek uppercase omega letter enclosed in quotation marks, you should use an editor that supports UTF-8, not this one. -->
<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2010/07/nuspec.xsd">
   <metadata>
      <!-- Read this before publishing packages to chocolatey.org: https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey/wiki/CreatePackages -->
      <id>lisp-translator</id>
      <title>lisp-translator (Install)</title>
      <version>0.1.0</version>
      <authors>rm</authors>
      <owners>rm</owners>
      <summary>rm</summary>
      <description>rm</description>
      <projectUrl>rm</projectUrl>
      <tags>lisp-translator admin</tags>
      <copyright />
      <licenseUrl>rm</licenseUrl>
      <requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance>
      <!--<iconUrl>http://cdn.rawgit.com/__REPLACE_YOUR_REPO__/master/icons/lisp-translator.png</iconUrl>-->
      <dependencies>
         <dependency id="LispParsingLibrary" version="1.1.0.17190" />
      </dependencies>
      <releaseNotes />
   </metadata>
</package>

However, when I try to install it, I get a rather esoteric error:

lisp-translator not installed. An error occurred during installation:
 External packages cannot depend on packages that target projects.
The install of lisp-translator was NOT successful.
lisp-translator not installed. An error occurred during installation:
 External packages cannot depend on packages that target projects.

Chocolatey installed 0/1 package(s). 1 package(s) failed.
 See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).
Failures:
 - lisp-translator

What am I doing wrong regarding adding of this dependency?
