Adding a package doesn't always provide the most up-to-date dependencies

jariji commented 8 months ago

New Julia 1.10 session, new environment. Why didn't I get the most up to date TypedSyntax automatically? The default tiered rule says

tiered Use the tier that will preserve the most version information while
allowing version resolution to succeed (this is the default)

but since the environment is new, there is nothing to preserve; no information would be lost by installing the newest TypedSyntax, so I would expect TypedSyntax 1.2.4 to be installed but I get 1.2.3. I guess maybe 1.2.3 had been pre-installed in a different environment in a different session?

Please include the output of versioninfo to show which env vars are set
