As discussed in #5545, the
--force-reinstall
causes a lot of issues for Conda builds,whereby some packages (for example
docutils
) cannot be uninstalled by pip.A more comprehensive solution may be to include additional options in the
.readthedocs.yaml
,to control the flags used when pip installing.
But, at least as an intermediary solution, I see no drawbacks in using
--upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager
to achieve the same objective, of ensuring dependencies are up-to-date (but without unnecessary uninstall/reinstall of dependencies).
