Aliases with :replace-deps do not report updates

[practicalli-johnny]

Description

Aliases that include a dependency via the :replace-deps key are not checked for newer versions. Tested with the 0.9.2 version of antq

The :replace-deps key is often used for defining tooling aliases that do not need to use the dependencies from the main project.

Reproduction guide 🪲

Add an alias to the user level configuration that adds the antq library via the :replace-deps key, using a version less than the current, e.g. 0.9.1

  :project/outdated
  {:replace-deps {antq/antq {:mvn/version "0.9.1"}}
   :main-opts  ["-m" "antq.core"]}

Run the clojure command with the alias

clojure -M:project/outdated

Observed behaviour: 👀 💔
antq reports no library updates available, even though 0.9.2 is available.

Expected behaviour: ❤️ 😄
Updating the alias to use :extra-deps and run the command again. This will report a new version of antq/antq is available

  :project/outdated
  {:extra-deps {antq/antq {:mvn/version "0.9.1"}}
   :main-opts  ["-m" "antq.core"]}

|    :file |                       :name | :version | :latest-version |
|----------+-----------------------------+----------+-----------------|
| deps.edn |                   antq/antq |    0.9.1 |           0.9.2 |

@jr0cket Thanks for your reporting!

Here may be the cause.
https://github.com/liquidz/antq/blob/0.9.2/src/antq/dep/clojure.clj#L38
Adding :replace-deps should work, but I have no time for now.
So I'll try tonight.

Oh, it is very simple to add, so I created a PR after testing it on my every growing https://github.com/practicalli/clojure-deps-edn configuration.

I added a :hack/antq alias to test it locally, using a local root config

  :hack/antq
  {:replace-deps
   {antq/antq {:local/root "/home/practicalli/projects/clojure/community-tools/antq"}}
   :main-opts ["-m" "antq.core"]}
