I quickly fixed a similar issue by manually editing the project.json file.

Note: Let me mention that my solution is Asp.net 5.0 Web Application and is targeting DNX 4.5.1

It was:

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "description": "DataLayer Class Library",
  "authors": [ "local-admin" ],
  "tags": [ "" ],
  "projectUrl": "",
  "licenseUrl": "",
  "frameworks": {
    "net451": { },
    "dotnet5.4": {
      "dependencies": {
        "Microsoft.CSharp": "4.0.1-beta-23516",
        "System.Collections": "4.0.11-beta-23516",
        "System.Linq": "4.0.1-beta-23516",
        "System.Runtime": "4.0.21-beta-23516",
        "System.Threading": "4.0.11-beta-23516"
      }
    }
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "EntityFramework": "6.1.3"
  }
}

I replaced the frameworks section and became:

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "description": "DataLayer Class Library",
  "authors": [ "local-admin" ],
  "tags": [ "" ],
  "projectUrl": "",
  "licenseUrl": "",
  "frameworks": {
    "dnx451": { }
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "EntityFramework": "6.1.3"
  }
}
