I am setting up a new solution in which I want to use the latest Autofac (3.4) and PostSharp 3.1.42. After referencing the NuGet packages I get the following error and I can't figure out what is going on. I never selected Autofac 3.3.0 package.
packages.config:
<package id="Autofac" version="3.4.0" targetFramework="net451" />
<package id="Autofac.Extras.Multitenant" version="3.1.1" targetFramework="net451" />
<package id="Autofac.Mvc5" version="3.3.0" targetFramework="net451" />
<package id="PostSharp" version="3.1.42" targetFramework="net451" />
MSBuild log:
Error 3 Unhandled exception (3.1.43.0, 32 bit, CLR 4.5, Release): PostSharp.Sdk.CodeModel.AssemblyLoadException: Cannot find assembly 'autofac, version=3.3.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=17863af14b0044da'. [Version mismatch]

Does anybody know where this is coming from and how I can fix this? In the past I created some projects with Autofac 3.3.0. Could this be some cache? PostSharp and Autofac are not in my GAC.
