However, I have verified not only that I don\'t need it but it causes problems becaus

Answer 1

You can do this by explicitly excluding the problematic artifact. Take the dependency that includes the problem and mark it to be excluded:

From the maven website:

  group-a
  artifact-a
  1.0
  
    
      group-c
      excluded-artifact
