[UNDER-DISCUSSION] how to handle inconsistent dependencies

[joshua-cogliati-inl]

Under Discussion Topic

If a single dependency is specified twice (either in the same dependencies.xml file or in two different dependencies.xml file such as in two different plugins) how should this be handled? They probably should check for consistency and if they are inconsistent, then error out.

Consistent Examples: 1. pyomo=6 and pyomo=6.4, pyomo (no version) and pyomo=6.4

Inconsistent Example: pyomo=6.4 and pyomo=6.7
