Transitive dependency causes wrong evictions

In the example below my build.sbt depends on the angular webjar 1.4.7. My other dependency depends on angular webjar version [1.3.0). However the newest version of said jar is 1.5.0-beta.2

Expected: angular jar version 1.4.7 to be used, as it satisfies both requirement Actual: angular 1.4.7 evicted, and 1.5.0-beta.2 used instead, which does not satisfy my main build.sbt requirements (version 1.4.7)

organization := "vandra.hu"

name := "sbt-bug"

version := "0.0.1"

scalaVersion := "2.11.6"

scalacOptions := Seq("-unchecked", "-deprecation", "-encoding", "utf8", "-feature")

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
   "org.webjars.bower" % "angular" % "1.4.7"
  ,"org.webjars.bower" % "angular-bootstrap" % "0.14.2"
)

pom.xml of angular-bootstrap:

(...)
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.webjars.bower</groupId>
            <artifactId>angular</artifactId>
            <version>[1.3.0,)</version>
        </dependency>

Given that most people use the default Ivy conflict manager that picks the “latest”, perhaps we could provide an option to ignore the dynamic-ness of the dynamic revision when we translate POM, and everyone would be happy.

For example, if we treat Maven’s [1.3.0,) as Ivy 1.3.0, and your build.sbt brings in another Ivy 1.4.7, it will pick up 1.4.7 as you expected.

I confirmed using sbt 1.3.0-RC3 that 1.4.7 gets picked.
