Presumably you have a dependency like this somewhere:

<dependency org="org.slf4j" module="com.springsource.slf4j.api" rev="1.6.1"/>

in which case adding force="true" should work. Like so:

<dependency org="org.slf4j" module="com.springsource.slf4j.api" rev="1.6.1" force="true"/>

This gives tells the conflict manager (if it's willing to listen) that slf4j should be forced to 1.6.1.

See: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/settings/conflict-managers.html
