Not pin packages versions in pyproject/pixi.toml

[chsafouane]

Summary of the question:

• Is there a way to have some packages not pinned in pyproject/pixi.toml ?

Long description of the question:
I've stumbled upon a problem that I fail to solve and it happened to me quite often.

Let say that you install pandas using pixi add --pypi pandas. This command shows a version interval in pyproject/pixi.toml, for example pandas = ">=2.2.3, <3"
When I try to install another package that is not compatible with pandas 2.y.z, it says that it's not compatible with it.
As I didn't specify any version for pandas, I would expect pixi to test compatibility with other 2.y.z versions and 1.y.z versions till it finds a compatible version.

To solve this, I have to change the version of pandas manually in pyproject/pixi.toml and put a "*" instead of the one specified by pixi and that way it works.

I just feel that I don't have to manually go and change versions in pyproject.toml every now and then to make it work.

Is there a way to do this with pixi automatically ?
