I was debugging a problem with my program, and I found that the version of several of my NuGet packages does not match the version displayed in Reference Properties. For example, looking at my installed NuGet packages, I have the following:

When I select log4net in the Links group (in Solution Explorer), I see the following:

NuGet reports that the installed version is 2.0.5, but Reference reports version 1.2.15.
Can someone explain why this is so, and if this is a problem? I have the same problem with Newtonsoft.Json where NuGet shows version 8.0.3, but the links show version 8.0.0
