I have just converted my PCL library to a new .Net Standard library and I have some Yellow Warning triangles on my Dependencies shown below:

enter image description here

During the conversion it brought all nuget packages across including dependencies so it could be dulicates.

How do I find out what the Yellow warning triangles represent?

EDIT

Build Logs:

To prevent NuGet from restoring packages during build, open the Visual Studio Options dialog, click on the Package Manager node and uncheck 'Allow NuGet to download missing packages during build.'
