Can't bind to 'ngOutletContext' since it isn't a known property of 'ng-template'

Below worked fine in Angular 4

<ng-container *ngFor="let user of list_users">
  <div *ngIf="currentUser.username !== user.username">
    <div class="card">
      bla bla
    </div>
  </div>
</ng-container>

Angular 5 is whining about this error:

Can't bind to 'ngOutletContext' since it isn't a known property of 'ng-template'.
1. If 'ngOutletContext' is an Angular directive, then add 'CommonModule' to the '@NgModule.imports' of this component.
2. To allow any property add 'NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA' to the '@NgModule.schemas' of this component. ("
        <!-- CUSTOM TEMPLATE -->
        <ng-template
            [ERROR ->][ngOutletContext]="{ item: model, index: index }"
            [ngTemplateOutlet]="template">
        "): ng:///TagInputModule/TagComponent.html@12:12

Looking through the upgrade steps: https://angular-update-guide.firebaseapp.com/, I don't seem to have anything related to the ng-template thing.

Plus, that's the only place in my code I'm using <ng-template></ng-template>

How do I get this going?

ngOutletContext has been removed as it was deprecated since v4. Use ngTemplateOutletContext instead of ngOutletContext in angular 5

Check this : https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#500-beta5-2017-08-29

and take this discussion if you want: Can't get ngTemplateOutlet to work
