ILMerge - pdb associated with dll is out of date

Trying to build executable with all libraries inside with help of ILMerge:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\ILMerge\ILMerge.exe" MyScan.exe DirectShowLib.dll Google.Apis.Auth.dll Google.Apis.Auth.PlatformServices.dll Google.Apis.Core.dll Google.Apis.dll Google.Apis.PlatformServices.dll Google.Apis.Sheets.v4.dll log4net.dll Newtonsoft.Json.dll zxing.dll zxing.presentation.dll /out:MyScan2.exe

Got error one of dll's is out of date:

An exception occurred during merging:
ILMerge.Merge:  There were errors reported in Google.Apis.Auth's metadata.
        The pdb associated with c:\Projects\Myscan\MYScan\bin\Release\Google.Apis.Auth.dll is out of date.
   at ILMerging.ILMerge.Merge()
   at ILMerging.ILMerge.Main(String[] args)

What does it mean? Why Google.Apis.Auth.dll pdb is out of date and how to fix that? I have cleaned and rebuilt project, but this not helped.

UPD

I had to delete all pdb's associated with google api. After that I got error:

Unresolved assembly reference not allowed: System.Core.

You are probably facing problems with portable PDBs. See https://github.com/dotnet/ILMerge/issues/11 for more details. There are four options for you:

  1. Delete the problematic PDBs before merging
  2. Use the most recent version of ILMerge, that gracefully declines them
  3. Use /ndebug switch for the ilmerge command to skip all PDBs
  4. select the 'Full' option for 'Debugging information' in project properties

Options 1-3 lose the debug info for the assembly/ies. Option 4 can only be used if portable .PDBs are not required.

I'm not totally sure, but I was running into the same error

I found I was getting the error if I renamed the ddl before using ilmerge, even if I renamed the pdb as well.

Leaving the original filename fixed it for me
