Hey everybody,

I face this issue on .com. Did anyone ported / deployed the fix to .com?

Here is the broken build [https://travis-ci.com/github/ets-labs/python-dependency-injector/jobs/455057934](https://travis-ci.com/github/ets-labs/python-dependency-injector/jobs/455057934). Fails on last command even thus it’s green.

If anyone still faces the issue and looks for the fix, you can install twine with next options:

`python -m pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager twine`

As state above, it will will resolve the dependencies proper way.

@rmk135 The fix is for the stock PyPI deployer. You are not using it but rather deploying things yourself.

@native-api, got it, thanks. So it’s not Travis issue, but more pip / twine / keyring problem, correct?

@rmk135 Pip problem. It doesn’t properly update a dependency when it’s installed but some of the other packages requires a newer version. Apart from `--upgrade-strategy eager`, using the new resolver may help (with `--use-feature=2020-resolver` or [by using Pip 20.3+](https://github.com/pypa/pip/commit/0d8acc9000471becf97b91b4465777b37bf5e011)).
