I am encountering a dependency resolution error when trying to build the project using cargo build.

Cargo fails to select a compatible version for the time crate. It appears that zip v7.3.0 strictly requires time =0.3.45, while another dependency in the tree (or the lockfile) has selected time 0.3.46.

To Reproduce

Run cargo build with the latest dependencies.

Error Log

Here is the output from Cargo:

error: failed to select a version for `time`.
    ... required by package `zip v7.3.0`
    ... which satisfies dependency `zip = "^7.3.0"` of package XXXX
versions that meet the requirements `=0.3.45` are: 0.3.45

all possible versions conflict with previously selected packages.

  previously selected package `time v0.3.46`
    ... which satisfies dependency `time = "^0.3.46"` of package XXXX

failed to select a version for `time` which could resolve this conflict

Possible Solution

remove '=' from :

time = { version = "=0.3.45", default-features = false, optional = true, features = [
    "std",
] }

time = { version = "=0.3.45", features = ["formatting", "macros"] }
clap = { version = "=4.4.18", features = ["derive"] }

I think that fixing/pinning crate versions (using =) risks causing recurring dependency conflicts in the future. By restricting a dependency to a specific patch version, it prevents Cargo's resolver from finding a common version when multiple packages share the same dependency. It might be better to use a more flexible version range.

Thanks.
