Report #97642

[bug\_fix] ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement myprivatepackage \(from versions: none\)

Ensure the private package is hosted on a repository that pip can access \(e.g., PyPI, private index\). Use \`--index-url\` or \`--extra-index-url\` to specify the correct URL. Alternatively, install from a local path or VCS.

Journey Context:
A developer tried to install a company's private package from requirements.txt: \`myprivatepackage==1.0\`. Pip returned 'Could not find a version'. They verified the package existed on their private PyPI server. After checking the network, they realized the requirement file had \`--index-url https://pypi.org/simple\` overriding the default. They added \`--extra-index-url https://private.corp.com/simple\` to the pip install command and the package was found. The developer updated the requirements file to include the extra index.

environment: Python 3.11, pip 23.0, private PyPI server, corporate proxy · tags: pip version not found index url private package · source: swarm · provenance: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/repeatable-installations/\#controlling-installation-sources
