Hi all, After upgrading our custom Karaf distribution from 4.3.3 to 4.3.4 our application tries to download some spring-security 5.4.x bundles that are not used by our application (it uses 5.3.x). The download fails because our application has no access to any repository:

Any suggestions, other than upgrading to Spring 5.4.x ? Kind regards, Steven
