missing pyqt in ska3-core-latest?

[jskrist]

the ska3-core package contains pyqt, but the ska3-core-latest does not. It's possible that this is by design, but it caused an issue in the Python trunk area on windows. pyqt was not being updated because the conda update command was referencing the ska3-core-latest package.

yes, this might be a bug. I have to admit that we never test ska3-latest, but I guess we should, because it often is not right.

The test should be that replacing ska3-core by ska3-core-latest should be a no-op (so this ticket is the partner of #967)

I just checked this while preparing the new large Ska update.

Indeed PyQt is not listed in ska3-core-latest, but it ends up being installed because pyqtgraph is listed.

I am adding PyQt to the list, but I am not sure that this is necessary. It seems to me that your issue was trying to update ska3-core-latest. Ska3-core-latest indeed had not changed, so the update behavior is to not update dependencies. If one wants to update dependencies, I believe one has to give the option --update-all to conda update. If instead one gives the --update-deps option, then pyqt would only update the explicit dependencies (was this the option you were using?).

Anyway, future versions will have this, but there are other packages that are not explicitly listed.

Fixed in 2023.1
