[jira] Commented: (MNG-2906) version ranges don't work after a day has passed

Paul Smith commented on MNG-2906:
---------------------------------

If I manually 'mvn install:install-file' commons-collections 2.1 into my local repository (which is the minimum in the specified range), it then works, but only because I already have the _other_ version ranged dependencies (such as commons-digester) already installed.  I have verified this on multiple computers in the same office.  If one computer does not have the specified minimum version as part of a dependency, even if they have later versions, this project fails.

This is extremely painful.

> dependency A has a range dependency on B
> my project has a dependency on A (not directly on B)
> I build my project with a fresh clean repo (i.e. rm -rf ~/.m2/repository)
> B's latest is downloaded as expected
> the next morning I rebuild my project and I get error messages that no suitable version can be found;
> No versions are present in the repository for the artifact with a range [1.02b,) com.lowagie:itext-null.jar
> the particulars are jfreereports depending on [1.02b,) of lowagie.
