I fixed a similar issue in my solution by:

Opening up a command prompt
Navigating to the .nuget folder in my solution
Running nuget update -self

This upgraded the copy of NuGet.exe that was in my solution from 2.8.0 to 3.4.4, which fixed the 'X' already has a dependency defined for 'Y' error that was stopping it from downloading SSH.NET automatically before building.

(If your solution doesn't have a copy of NuGet.exe in it - and it might not - then you should try the solution in TN's answer instead)

The only solution that worked for me was to uninstall nuget completely from Visual Studio 2013 and then install it again with the obligatory restart of VS in between

I faced this error on outdated version of Visual Studio 2010  Due to project configuration I was not able to update this version to newer  Therefore  update of NuGet advised above did not fix things for me    Root reason for the error in this and similar situations is in dependencies of the package you try to install  which are not compatible with  NET version available in your project    Universal solution is not obligatory update of Visual Studio or  NET but in installation of older NuGet versions of the same package compatible with your system    It is not possible to tell for sure  which of earlier versions will work  In my case  this command installed the package without any NuGet updates   Install-Package X -Version  compatible version number
