I upgraded to 17.12.3 and got a weird error about “DiscoverPrecompressedAssets” task failed unexpectedly. Did not have this issue before upgrading.

[severity:I'm unable to use this version] [regression] [worked-in:17.12.3]
The "DiscoverPrecompressedAssets" task failed unexpectedly.
System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added.
at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentException(ExceptionResource resource)
at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add) at System.Linq.Enumerable.ToDictionary[TSource,TKey,TElement](IEnumerable1 source, Func2 keySelector, Func2 elementSelector, IEqualityComparer`1 comparer)
at Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticWebAssets.Tasks.DiscoverPrecompressedAssets.Execute()
at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.TaskExecutionHost.Execute()
at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.TaskBuilder.<ExecuteInstantiatedTask>d__26.MoveNext()

Got this error in my Microsoft.NET.Sdk.StaticWebAssets.Compression.targets file. I do not know how to fix and will be reverting to older version
