[Bug]: Ballerina build looking for exact dependency version even without --sticky flag

[daneshk]

Description

I tried to do an offline build of the project[1] by deleting the local cache and with --offline. It failed to build while trying to resolve the http module. Got the following error message.

ERROR [main.bal:(1:1,1:23)] cannot resolve module 'ballerina/http'
ERROR [main.bal:(4:1,4:56)] listener variable incompatible types: 'httpListener' is not a Listener object
ERROR [main.bal:(4:10,4:23)] undefined module 'http'
ERROR [main.bal:(4:10,4:23)] unknown type 'Listener'

Then I tried offline build by removing the Dependency.toml file. It also failed with the following error,

error: failed to load the module 'ballerina/auth:2.14.0' from its BIR due to: cannot resolve module ballerina/log:2.12.0
