The first thing to do is to see if those packages ACTUALLY need older versions of those dependencies. There's a good chance they don't. To avoid creating this sort of problem, don't depend on a highly specific version of things; just depend on a minimum version, and if there's a problem (ONLY if there's a problem), a maximum version.
