    Description

      We need to decide if this is a bug or a feature. In some cases it can be dangerous to upgrade the dependencies of an installed extension without actually upgrading the extension. For instance, I installed:

      XWiki Platform - Git 4.5
        (JGit - Core 1.3.0.201202151440-r)
          (JSch 0.1.44-1)
      

      that has the specified transitive dependencies. The extension updater suggests the following upgrades:

      XWiki Platform - Git 4.5.3
        (JGit - Core 1.3.0.201202151440-r)
      JGit - Core 2.3.1.201302201838-r
      JSch 0.1.49
      

      although:

      • I didn't install directly JGit Core nor JSch, they are just transitive dependencies,
      • and, as you can see, XWiki Platform Git 4.5.3 depends on an older version of JGit Core than the one proposed for upgrade.
