Answer 1

It seems that you are trying to resolve RELEASE artifact from a SNAPSHOT repository, therefore Artifactory is sending an error (409 conflict).

You should direct your build to 'libs-releases' virtual repository, or any other virtual repository that holds only releases, so only repositories that hold release artifacts will be involved in the process of RELEASE artifact resolution
