Compiling new .NET Core project unexpected dependency

I've just created a new .NET Core web app (all defaults, no webapi or web application) and I get the following error:

Unexpected dependency 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe' with no version number.

1>------ Build started: Project: WebApplication1, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------ 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\build\Microsoft.PackageDependencyResolution.targets(154,5): error : Unexpected dependency 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe' with no version number.

1>WebApplication1 -> c:\users\chris\documents\visual studio 2017\Projects\WebApplication1\bin\Debug\netcoreapp1.1\WebApplication1.dll

1>Done building project "WebApplication1.csproj" -- FAILED.

========== Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

This is a recent install of VS2017 with .NET core installed as part of it. If I follow the error it takes me to the above targets and complaints the two items below are undefined:

UPDATE:

I've tried everything up to and including a full uninstall and reinstall of VS 2017. This seems to be only happening with the .NET Core 1.1 templates, (even with updated nuget packages)

Eventually solved the problem by clearing out my c:\users\myname\ .nuget\packages folder and doing a fresh dotnet restore. I assume it was picking up an old version of a package I had back when I was doing beta .net core development a long time ago
