Dependency puppet/download_file causes conflicts With sub dependency puppetlabs/stdlib

[SiteDesignUSA]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 6
• Ruby: 2
• Distribution: CentOS 7
• Module version: 2.4.2

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

Install module with almost any other modern module that calls for puppetlabs/stdlib <6.0.0

What are you seeing

Conflict between puppetlabs-stdlib versions.

Details

Puppetlabs/accounts calls for this version of stdlib, (< 7.0.0, >= 5.0.0) <(puppetlabs/accounts)> and puppet/download_file calls for puppetlabs-stdlib version, (< 5.0.0, >= 4.6.0) <(puppet/download_file)>

Outcome

So the modules don't install.

What behaviour did you expect instead

Modules would install.

Any additional information you'd like to impart

This is happening because your module is calling for puppet/download_file with a version <3.0.0 which is version 2.1.0 which has dependencies on puppetlabs-stdlib version, (< 5.0.0, >= 4.6.0) <(puppet/download_file)

If you could raise the dependency to <4.0.0 for puppet/download_file then it would depend on puppetlabs/stdlib (>= 4.13.1 < 6.0.0) and the problem would be fixed.

It appears there may be some work to be done. I haven't tracked everything down but here is the change that breaks puppet/download_file from version 2 to 3.
