Cannot use custom version of postgres on Mac

[NikolayMetchev]

If I try and specify a custom version of Postgres then my tests fail as outlined below. If I use the default version 10.11.0 then everything works fine.

I am using Gradle 6.8 I have added the following to my build.gradle

    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
            if (details.requested.group == 'io.zonky.test.postgres') {
                details.useVersion '10.12.0'
            }
        }

Here is the error message that I get:

You have to use version 10.15.0-1 that fixes the problem with the missing libz library. More info in the following thread: https://github.com/zonkyio/embedded-postgres-binaries/issues/21
