Profile definition results in dangling references when using a model library [message #1834271]

I am trying to use datatypes and classes from a model library in my profile. I separated these into their own library to reuse them in the model.

But every time I try to define the profile UML2 yields this error for every feature in a stereotype that has the type of a referenced datatype or class (enumeration work fine though):

The feature 'eType' of '<featureName>': <LibraryName_PackageName_TypeName>' contains a dangling reference '<LibraryName_PackageName_TypeName'
The feature 'eClassifier' of '<LibraryName_PackageName_TypeName>' contains a dangling reference '<LibraryName_PackageName_TypeName'

I attached a model project to reproduce the error.

Eclipse Version:
Version: 2020-09 (4.17.0)
Build id: 20200910-1200

Papyrus Version:
4.8.x and 5.0 Nightly (both tested)

Appendix: I want to reuse the datatypes and especially the classes in my model because I want to achieve a stereotype that has a property that references an instance of a specific class so I tried to use the Class as the type of the property, I am not sure if that is the right way to do it.
