Report #97630

[bug\_fix] ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts. packageA 1.0 requires packageB<2.0 but you have packageB 2.0 which is incompatible.

Upgrade pip to version 21.0 or later: \`pip install --upgrade pip\`. Then re-run the install command. If conflicts remain, use \`pip check\` and manually pin versions or create a constraints file.

Journey Context:
A developer was setting up a CI pipeline and ran \`pip install -r requirements.txt\`. They saw a long warning about dependency conflicts but no error. The build later failed because installed packages were incompatible. They searched and found that older pip versions had a less strict resolver. After upgrading pip from 20.3 to 21.3, the resolver immediately raised errors during install, preventing the conflict. The developer then had to fix the requirements file by specifying compatible version ranges.

environment: Python 3.9, pip 20.3, requirements.txt with loosely pinned packages · tags: pip resolver conflict dependency ci build · source: swarm · provenance: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip\_install/\#conflicting-dependencies
