Could not update the nuget package due to the Incompatibility

Question

I could not update the WindowsAzure.Storage NuGet Package. It seems other package that probably depends on it, each time I update that package, I got the same error:

Install failed. Rolling back... Updating 'Microsoft.Data.OData 5.6.2' to 'Microsoft.Data.OData 5.6.4' failed. Unable to find versions of 'WindowsAzure.MobileServices.Backend.Tables, WindowsAzure.MobileServices.Backend.Entity' that are compatible with 'Microsoft.Data.OData 5.6.4'.

Why do I get this and how can I resolve this issue?

Why do I get this and how can I resolve this issue?

According to the nuget package of WindowsAzure.Storage, you will find this package have a dependencies is Microsoft.Data.OData (>= 5.6.2):

when you update the package WindowsAzure.Storage, the dependency package Microsoft.Data.OData (>= 5.6.2) also need to upgrade to 5.6.4.

However, the nuget packages WindowsAzure.MobileServices.Backend.Tables and WindowsAzure.MobileServices.Backend.Entity' are dependent on Microsoft.Data.OData (>= 5.6.2):

In this case, NuGet could not update the nuget package WindowsAzure.Storage.

To resolve this issue, you can use the option IgnoreDependencies when you update that package:

update-package WindowsAzure.Storage -IgnoreDependencies
