Updating the message when the user hits a conflict w/ installed packages (original) (raw)

Environment

• pip version: master today.
• Python version: all
• OS: all

Description

We've decided to update the error message presented to a user, when the final result set of packages will contain dependency conflicts.

Context: #8513, #7744 and a recent team meeting regarding the new resolver rollout.

Expected behavior

The behavior has to be changed in two ways, each related to a different part of the resolver rollout plan:

• The legacy resolver would present a message nudging users to realize that the upcoming new resolver might behave differently (see Implement step 1 in resolver rollout process #8513)
• The new resolver would present a message nudging users "hey, do you want the resolver to always be strict!? tell us!" (see Warn users about dependency conflicts when updating other packages #7744 (comment))

How to Reproduce / Output

To get the current message, run:
