I am trying to install apriltag-ros in my pixi environment and I get the following error.

I understand this is a version mismatch but I would like some guidance on how to fix this.

Have you tried not pinning any of the ros-jazzy-* packages? (Just use “*” as version)

Unfortunately still getting a similar issue

Can you also relax all the non-ros dependencies? I do not think you actually need exactly those bounds, I guess they were set by the pixi add default behaviour.

[Tobias-Fischer]

Quick ping @faseelmo

[faseelmo]

Doesn't seem to make any difference. But I've narrowed it down to which packages are causing the problem. If i comment out mavros-msgs and imu-tools, pixi install doesn't return any error with apriltag-ros.
