Dependency to Microsoft.Tpl.Dataflow does not allow package manager console to update or reinstall all packages in a solution in one shot.

I believe the dependency to Microsoft.Tpl.Dataflow should be removed, and most probably replaced with System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow. The mentioned dependency causes package manager console to fail when trying to update or reinstall all Nuget packages in a solution (e.g. using update-package -reinstall), forcing the user to reinstall packages one-by-one, which can be tedious in a very large solution (e.g. with 100+ projects, which is my case). Found the following issue which was opened 1 year ago, but the same problem still persists today: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/24547 . Thank you in advance.

@nnorbakhsh as far as I can see, none of the WebHooks packages have Microsoft.Tpl.Dataflow dependencies. Could you please be more specific about the offending package?

Hi, I am seeing the dependency in the latest version of "Microsoft.AspNet.WebHooks.Custom" which is currently on 1.2.1. I am attaching a screenshot as well directly from VS. I hope I have posted it to the right place here! There was no feedback link (in VS), so I clicked on the abuse link (out of frustration I have to admit, it gave me a really hard time and I lost many hours because of it), which right on top said "please do not use this form to report a bug in a package you are using", with a link to contact the owners of the package instead. I did that and someone from your team responded and suggested I open an issue here on Github.

@nnookbakhsh ah, you're talking about a WebHooks package for .NET Framework. This is an issue for the aspnet/AspNetWebHooks repo. I'll move it there…

This issue was moved to aspnet/AspNetWebHooks#30
