I think I got around this problem by installing the following package using NuGet:

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core

I followed these two answers from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49448133/2048391 and https://forums.asp.net/t/2096814.aspx?

The above solution didn't work for me as it was failing on some other package too. My solution was to delete the packages folder and rebuild the project, which retrieved all the packages again.

You need reinstalling the NuGet package, which corrects broken dependencies. Open package manager and run Update-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi -reinstall.
