Can't upgrade or downgrade NuGet package

I have a ASP.NET Core website, and it relies on 2 class libraries.

They all reference Microsoft.NETCore but the versions have got mixed up somehow and has lead me to receive warnings:

Detected package downgrade: Microsoft.NETCore.App from 1.1.0 to 1.0.3

NuGet won't let me change the version of Microsoft.NetCore.App:

Cant update package

If I try to upgrade or downgrade, I get the error

Following versions are unavailable due to additional constraints in the project or packages.config

How do I solve this error?

My csproj file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

Solution

  • The "Following versions are unavailable due to additional constraints" message seems to occur even in a brand new, empty ASP.NET Core project. I think it's either a bug or a feature of the NuGet GUI. (I'm using the final release version of Visual Studio 2017)

    You can work around it by directly editing the .csproj file: right-click on the project in the Solution Explorer and select Edit (projectname).csproj.

    You can bump up the version of Microsoft.NETCore.App (and the target framework) in the first PropertyGroup:

    <PropertyGroup>
  <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>

  <!-- snip -->

  <RuntimeFrameworkVersion>1.1.0</RuntimeFrameworkVersion>

  <!-- snip -->
</PropertyGroup>

    Then, close the file and rebuild the project. I tested this with all the (public) dependencies you mentioned in your question and didn't see any package version conflicts.
