I'm getting the following validation error on my layer diagram

Error 65 AV0001 : Invalid Dependency : Weld.Interface.Core(Assembly) --> Weld.Interface(Namespace)

Layers: Application Framework Core, Application Framework | Dependencies: Namespace Reference D:\Projects\Windows Projects\Weld\Weld\ModelingProject1\Weld.layerdiagram 0 0 ModelingProject1

Weld.Interface.Core: This assembly and namespace does not have a reference to Weld.Interface and only references .NET Framework classes

Weld.Interface: This assembly and namespace does not have a reference to Weld.Interface

There is no dependancy between these two layers in the dependency diagram. I am confused why I am getting this error. No dependency in the project or code, and no dependency is even setup in the layer diagram.

Somehow the Validation logic in the layer diagram is seeing a non existant dependency and saying it is an error.

Any ideas what either I might have missed or what is causing this problem?
