nuget pack command doesn't includes Microsoft unity

Question

I am trying to create a nuget package for my library that has dependency on Unity. For that I placed below line in my nuspec file.

<dependencies>
  <dependency id="Unity" version="[3.5.0.0]" include="all" />
</dependencies>

and then executed below command

nuget pack MyClient.MyProject.ApplicationData.csproj -Prop Configuration=Release

When I use resulting package, at run-time I get error saying, "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.Unity, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)"

This question seems to be pointing to similar issue, referring it I copied nuget.config file as suggested in its referred link but that didn't helped. Content of nuget.config file are as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <config>
    <add key="repositoryPath" value="packages" />
  </config>
  <solution>
    <add key="disableSourceControlIntegration" value="true" />
  </solution>
</configuration>

My project hierarchy is like this

MyClient  
--MyProject  
----MyProj.csproj  
----MyProj.nupkg  
--Packages  
----Unity.3.5.1404.0  
--NuGet.Config

I got latest version of nuget with me and this is the first time I am creating a nuget package, could someone please suggest what I might be missing here. Any pointers?

Thanks,
Ravi

I checked that "Unity, 3.5.0.0" package doesn't exists on nuget.org.v3(https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json)

I have tried pack command with below nuspack file.

<dependency id="Unity" version="5.0.0" />

nuget.exe pack "D:\Test.Project.nuspec"

It created proper package with dependency.

These detail will help: What nuget version this project is using? Where is nuget reference mentions?

In package.config and solution file (nuget version 2x)
In Project.json (nuget version 3x)

nuget pack command doesn't includes Microsoft unity
