Detected package downgrade warning (dotnet core, vs 2017)

Question

I have just updated all my nuget packages for my solution (dotnet core 1.1 project).

I am now getting the following warnings and I don\'t really know what they mean.

Answer 1

Try using NuGet

I was getting:

error NU1605: Detected package downgrade: System.Net.NameResolution from 4.3.0 to 4.0.0. Reference the packagedirectly from the project to select a different version.

So I referenced the package directory by running (in the project folder):

dotnet add package System.Net.NameResolution

See NuGet Errors - NU1605

Issue:

A dependency package specified a version constraint on a higher version of a package than restore ultimately resolved. That is, because of the "nearest wins" rule when resolving packages, a nearer package in the graph may have overridden a distant package.

Solution:

Add a direct reference to the project for the higher version of the package that you want to use.
