Azure functions v3 VS2019/22 publish failing on Linux App with a Newtonsoft error

My azure functions is in .net core 3.1 v3 and I had a problem trying to publish using VS2019/22 on Linux app service but works fine if i choose Windows app service. I am not sure why it is complaning something about Newtonsoft.Json, I use the version 13.0.1 and It should be supported by Sdk version as well.

I have tried all possible bin, obj, nuget cache, temp to delete, restarted VS, ran VS in Admin mode but nothing helped.

Finally tried VS Code and publish went smooth. What is the deal here with VS unless there is bug was introduced. Because my last publish was at the end of the march with same project and I compared changes and even tried to back to a last published commit but still was same error. Any idea here?

Error I am getting
