Error caused by weakly referenced package not specifying version range

[loonghao]

Environment

• Windwos 10 and Windows 11
• Rez-3.1.0
• Rez python version 3.9

To Reproduce

# internal_pkg  package.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

name = 'internal_pkg'

version = '0.3.0'

description = "XXX"

authors = ['XXX']

tools = []

requires = [
    'python-2.7..4',
    'setuptools-41..100',
    '~numpy',
    '~scipy'
]
variants = []
build_requires = []

private_build_requires = [
    'rez_builder-0',
    'setuptools_scm-1.15'
]

def commands():
    """Set up package."""
    env.PYTHONPATH.prepend("{this.root}/site-packages")  # noqa: F821

tests = {}

dev_requires = []

homepage = 'XXXX'

format_version = 2

Running the following command will result in the error shown below.

rez env internal_pkg scipy-1 -- python

Executed in version 3.1.0 The following command is as expected

rez ~numpy ~scipy scipy-1.6 -- python

In the package.py of internal_pkg, lock the weakly referenced numpy and scipy to specific version ranges. Executing the following command is also in line with expectations.

rez env internal_pkg scipy-1 -- python

Regression This error has appeared since 3.1.0 and is caused by the update of this PR. https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/pull/1684/files
