The postgresql module now correctly refers to the new puppetlabs/concat module[1].
As for managing modules that require conflicting versions for dependencies, there is not an easy solution; you have to resolve the dependencies. This usually entails upgrading something. For the specific issue you had above, I believe that would have been caught by librarian-puppet, since it does dependency checking, though it should have just worked if you used librarian-puppet-simple[2].
