Gradle 6.x isn't able to pick right Guava variant about guava

[cpovirk]

Sorry for the trouble :( It sounds like you've already found https://github.com/google/guava/releases/tag/v32.1.0 and perhaps some other discussions. Those other discussions include #6801 (comment) and posts throughout #6612.

If you're able to share a sample project, that may improve the chances that someone could help. You may end up with better luck on Stack Overflow, since my understanding is that most such errors need to be fixed by changes to a plugin or elsewhere in the build configuration :(

This may be a bit of a naive, but a simple solution should be to disable the module metadata for the dependency (docs) because in most cases the maven pom is satisfactory.

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  exclusiveContent {
    forRepository {
      maven {
        url 'https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/'
        metadataSources {
          mavenPom()
          artifact()
        }
      }
    }
    filter {
      includeModule 'com.google.guava', 'guava'
    }
  }
}

@cpovirk It seems no longer to be necessary as the Microsoft Graph SDK falsely still had a dependency on the Google Guava library. Just finished removing that dependency for the Graph SDK. So I'll expect it to be no problem for my case anymore. But I could imagine that other developers might run into a similar problem (though I think we need to upgrade our Gradle version first).
