Updating to latest stable version in Ninject removes NinjectWebCommon.cs (Web API v2)

Question

I think I may be losing my mind, I've updated all Ninject packages to the latest stable version which then removes NinjectWebCommon.cs

"We" have a fair few Live Web API projects running with an earlier version and all is working great! But having said that, when I try to remove and revert to an old version, we're hit with many assembly issues.

Really, I suppose the question is after an hour's worth of "googling", is there a nuget package that I'm missing with the Ninject updates?

To reiterate when updating all Ninject packages it removes the NinjectWebCommon.cs

Current Packages:

  <package id="Ninject" version="3.3.3" targetFramework="net461" />
  <package id="Ninject.MVC5" version="3.3.0" targetFramework="net461" />
  <package id="Ninject.Web.Common" version="3.3.0" targetFramework="net461" />
  <package id="Ninject.Web.Common.WebHost" version="3.3.0" targetFramework="net461" />
  <package id="Ninject.Web.WebApi" version="3.3.0" targetFramework="net461" />
  <package id="Ninject.Web.WebApi.WebHost" version="3.3.0" targetFramework="net461" />
  <package id="WebActivatorEx" version="2.0" targetFramework="net461" />
  <package id="WebApiContrib.IoC.Ninject" version="0.9.3.0" targetFramework="net461" />

Hopefully I'm not missing the obvious and it's generally a problem/bug.

Thanks in Advance.

Apparently NinjectWebCommon.cs is not shipped with with 3.3.0 but is still required. When updating, I recommend to:

• clean checkout
• update packages
• revert deletion of NinjectWebCommon.cs
• add NinjectWebCommon.cs pack to the project

Alternatively write your own implementation like documented in this answer .
