Why am I unable to update certain contributed modules?

This issue occurs when you include a contributed module to a project while the Drupal Starter Kits distribution provides the same module. For example, this issue might occur when you update the Facets module to its latest version and add the module directly to the root composer.json file. However, this module is also a component in the Drupal Starter Kit Search module. Therefore, you can update the Facets module only by updating the Drupal Starter Kit Search module.

Workaround:

Remove any direct dependencies associated with the Drupal Starter Kits distribution from the root composer.json file. This establishes a clear path for the update process and eliminates any potential conflicts.
